~Only You~

No one has ever caressed my heart the way you do
I feel the wonder and the total awe of you
Such truth flows from your soul when it talks to me
I understand the reasons for the rhyme perfectly
When you hold me tight we converse heart to heart
I know you’ll never try to take me apart
I give my heart to you knowing you’ll hold it near
As I treasure yours and count it always dear

Only you have brought about this change in me
Before there was you I wandered aimlessly
I had no direction in my life I was unhappily sore
I roamed everywhere seeking sanctuary’s door
Alone and adrift my heart knew too much pain
It had lost its tune, didn’t know the refrain
You arrived gifting me with such eternal peace
That all my endless strife simply ceased

When you speak to me I swear I hear music play
My soul flies to you and wants to always stay
There’s no truth if it doesn’t fall from your lips
And nourishment I take from you in sips
Love washes over me when you speak my name
Fire starts to burn in an incandescent flame
Without you there’s nothing, I simply cease to be
With you I have everything I become me

Marsha

Only from the heart...
this could only come
from the heart...

Wow!
I hear music, too ... now
Well done, indeed!

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Beautifully written!

What a great feeling to have Marsha.

Marsha, darling girl, your poetry just gets better and better and better and better. And as it does you know that I just melt like butter in your spell. You are so magnificent. And so, I say:

There was a time when we first met, I knew
That all of love was made by God in you
For you were pure and honest I could see
Your love was God's pure gift of ecstasy.

And as we flew to heavens farthest shore
My burning just got hotter more and more
And now our flames are fused as we are one
Flying brighter than the farthest sun.

God above called us to share in love
To sing with all the angels up above
And as we fly through heaven's starry dew
You know than now forever, I love you.

((Marsha))

Marsha - I am glad you don't roam around all sore anymore looking for sanctuary's door.  It is always a pleasure to read your writing.

By the way, I saw your daughter has gotten hold of your computer.  I don't know if I like this development.  The two of you on one site, that might be more then I can handle.lol  

On the other hand, she can hold down the fort while you come and visit me for a tiny speck of tea.  Why a speck?  Because the water in the kettle has almost all evaporated by now.lol
