For Her

How often may I walk among
these sweet Elysian fields,
where perfume never meant for men,
each fragrant flower yields?

How often may I rest my head
on heaven's softest cloud
and touch the face of innocence
that God alone endowed?

How often may I feast upon
Ambrosia as my due
and taste this nectar deep and long
'til hunger's pains are through?

How often may a symphony
of sound caress my ear,
cascading tones of beauty born
to worship and revere?

How often am I blinded by
the brilliance of the dawn,
the golden hues of artist's dreams
to which my eyes are drawn?

The fragrance of Elysian fields
lies nestled in her hair,
the comfort of the softest cloud,
her bosom warm and bare.

The nectars of her hidden fruit
are mine each time we kiss,
her voice a simple symphony,
of music tinged in bliss.

And when her face I chance to see
I sigh and slowly melt,
my senses overwhelmed by love
I'd dreamed but never felt.

There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.

You do have a way with words, David! This is very beautifully done! I suppose most of us have had an unrequited love. You've expressed it wonderfully.
