+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
Layers of thin veneer peel away as
we lay bare our souls.
Naked we lie in the dawning light of
our new life together
~ open and vulnerable, yet confident
in our abiding love for one another.
Joy seeps from every pore of my being
as I behold your godly form in the rays
of the morning sun.
Our spirited union transcends
mundane, human existence ~
carrying us off into realms
of heavenly bliss.
+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+

Nancy ~

Gosh, I must be the Queen of editing poems on-line! I made a few more changes since you saved it! Go figure! At least the changes are easier to make than the ones I feel compelled to do with my watercolour paintings once they have already been matted and framed! Jeeesh! lol

Loves 'n hugs,

Missy ~

Thank you!

~ May your days ~ and nights! ~ be filled with bliss and beauty! ~ Altho', knowing the physical pain that you have been experiencing, I suppose that it may be a while before the bliss part kicks in!

Loving, healing hugs,

I must admit that those "glasses" do fall off once in awhile. But the view is far more pleasant when I am wearing them! ~ so I try my best to keep them on! lol

Yes, just reading this held a kiss of bliss -
beautiful.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Wow...if/when I ever get married, I gotta recite this for at the wedding, for my bride.
Wonderful.

I sometimes feel like that, half of that maybe, laying on my bed watching clouds move across blue sky. Peaceful, I like.

Missed your warmth, Lindy. XX

Linda, it seems that someone 'completes you;' to steal a line from a famous movie whose title escapes my brain tonight.

This is a splendid and gloriously loving piece of writing.

Huggles sister, Marti
