I dream of you
Night and day
Your gentle touch
The words you say
Speak to my heart
Giving it hope
No longer dangling
By the end of the rope

The sun shines
In your sparkling eyes
There is no fear
You tell no lies
Your love is true
Sure and strong
I know I am finally
Where I belong

Your arms enfold me
Sheltering the storm
My head on your shoulder
Love in the simplest form
Your kiss is like
A caress on my lips
To my heart
It’s a total eclipse

I feel your warmth
In all you do
Now my life’s
So very new
I place my faith
In the man I see
With his support
I can at last be me

His love makes me whole
The emptiness is filled
As the pieces rejoin
The water’s are stilled
Turmoil has left
Never to be seen again
The only question
Where shall we begin?

I love it!!!!!!!!!

Beautifully romantic....that ending is really a catcher....begin just begin! I agree with Kathleen......get it on with love.....take care!

The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.

Very nice, well expressed. Just let the love flow....

A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes.

A very nice read. And what a pleasant decision your last line offers.
May all choices be such
