My cup has runneth over
For my love, I can't contain
It flows throughout my being
And pulses within each vein

As I write these words in verse
I stop and reminisce
About your loving ways
And the tenderness of your kiss

I feel much joy and rapture
Whenever I think of you
My troubles fade away
And life takes on a brighter hue

Your love is to be savoured
Like the finest red wine
As you read my words of love
You'll see my heart in every line

* * *

"Wine comes in at the mouth
and love comes in at the eye
That's all we know for truth
before we grow old and die
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, and I sigh"


I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you
- Shawn Mullins

That's all we know for truth

Ah Sue, you warm my heart - lovely-

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
