Loving You

In loving you I’ve found a simple truth,
That joys of love we search for dwell within,
And true love won’t demand or seek a proof,
But yearns to please the heart it aches to win.
Yet pleasing musn’t be a source of strain,
For purest love surprises with its ease.
A cup of tea, a special song’s refrain,
A quiet walk, and love is ours to sieze.
Though passions fierce must cause our blood to boil,
The quietude from gazing in your eyes,
Reminds me that our love is free of toil,
And calms me when the strains of life arise.

So let our love be simple full and free,
Pretending not, so what may be may be.

Gee, sighs, and PERFECT are already used.  How about magnificent, marvelous, splendid, absolutely wonderful, incredible, and elegant!

To love another person is to see the face of God.

I LOVE THIS...



It's exquisite - It's superb - It's flawless - It's totally and uncategorically fantasmic...

Um... Have I mentioned that I like your work???


Waft every crest upon your destined sea.
Embrace the Wave of Serendipity,
Lest its elusive arcane ecstasy
Refurl with sail for all eternity.

The purest love surprises with its ease.'

So, so true, David!  I'm loving this!  Excellent write!

oh, even there, I know your heart rides with me...
