Love Is Made

Tell me then heart
Speak the sage in you, disguised and misguided
Promised as the words confided, fire and fear
Did you really see inside when truth was near?
When purpose was truth, emotions to tear
If the answer still shimmers, tell me

Lest your arms ache to hold on and fold to
Release of envisage so gentle, as a glass topped lake
Feeling each ripple, simply for your own sake
And for him,
Have you really let in every breath that you take?
Tell me then heart, what to give

In the fall of your words, in these times to be still
Every thought, every deed, every moment its seed
By His word and His will
Every image he glows, to resound what love knows
Tell me then heart
Have I followed you through time and trace?
Have I breathed in each second by your grace
Does he know?  Does he know!

Rising up with the sun, such delight set to fade
From the soul to the skin, always as love is made
Every soft touch by eye, feather weight hopes sweet sigh
In my dreams, in my wake everything for his sake
Tell him then and again,  
Tell him heart every way love is made

I am particularly fond of the beginning and
ending of this effective ‘Romantic’ write:

“Tell me then heart
Speak the sage in you, disguised and misguided
Promised as the words confided, fire and fear
Did you really see inside when truth was near…”

“Tell him heart every way love is made”

AND, the line:

“Tell me then heart
Have I followed you through time and trace?”

Applause!

I'm gonna stand on "Secondhand's" words here my friend...he stated my thoughts of this to a tee, though much better than I could have.

Wonderful...
