The Sunshine Of You
Free verse

If others could look inside
Peer into that place within
They would see my soul
Sprinkled with the
Sunshine of your smile
The warmth of
Your love

They would see that I
Am only as good as you
Made me
The sparkle that
Glitters in my soul
Comes from the
Touch of you

They’d see the love
That wraps my soul
In such peace
They’d hear the music
That awakens my
Spirit to dance
All the gifts of you

They’d know that
I am only all that I am
Because I have you
Encouraging
Supporting
Loving
Caring
Sharing

I am me because
Of the sunshine of
Your spirit
Holds the soul
Of Me

I am
Because
Of
You

Marsha

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

See love I told you this needed to be seen, and admired.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

It takes a special person
to make sure that you
are always warm inside...

to have that love...
is to know pure joy....

Beckoning love is at first a whisper
then becomes a shout which cannot be ignored
the sum of who and what we become
relies on who we are loved by
and how much we are loved


If I am not missing my guess, this was more than just an average poem for you, but more of a pronouncement of happiness in disovery.
Wishing you Love and Joy,
jeff

These are the words of a woman passionately in love with the mate of her heart. I love the beauty of your love, your romantic heart.  It speaks of a woman who has found the fulfillment of all her most secret and wonderful desires.  Very beautiful and regal poem!!!!  ***Ivy Rose

Thank you everyone you are all appreciated, Keth beloved heart YOU are biased and this was too hard for me to do on a regular basis. YOU know where it comes from and that my mind simply doesn’t work well in a free verse format.

Krissy darling daughter, YOU are only jealous that now MY talent has come out to play. Okay I lie, but don’t crow too loud or I’ll cut you off at the knees. Just stay away from rhyme darling you know it is too difficult for you to do. You know I only mean it lovingly darling heart


Love and warm stuff
