What is it with these feelings that I have?
Is it  that I should, or that I should not?
Are feelings just something that come, go?
Or...are they within us, growing eternal.

You say you cherish me, I feel great joy.
You write of how you crave me, I yearn.
You caress my ears with delicate sighs
I become mush, a bowl of soft goo.

Have I not felt this way in our lifetime?
Am I mad to experience love overwhelming?
Will I know that this remains,  is real, is it?
Can this soul love now as it never has before?

Leaving you is beyond mental comprehension.
Your shadow, beside me,  is now part of my own.
I walk a trusted path of love with and for you.
Our journey will take us far, beyond starlight.

I dream of rides into the heavens,  with you.
Your warmth resting against me as we fly.
Our wings will steadily carry us into ecstasy.
Our souls will within us, go into eternal life.

Though I have held you innumerable times
each is as tender as the very first we shared.
My lips, upon touching yours, quench me.
Our hands connected, have taken us to bliss.

I will lie with you as you sleep in comfort.
You, knowing that I will ever be present..
Your eyes will first see mine as you arise.
For I have a macrocosm of love to share.
And you my dear, my love I award to you.

*sigh* I love it when you write about your wife like this. *sigh* This is the way I want a man to feel about me. Now come on, Magnus, go get yourself cloned. There are women out here that need men like you. LOL All kidding aside, the love you have for your wife is inspiring and gives hope. I LOVE IT!!!  

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Simply lovely write, Magnus.  This is what love is all about.  Sigh . . .
