How I love you
In each breath I draw, each thought imbibed
As if in but a brush of fate my soul was lit
So sure the feeling of forever, calm and kindled
That sanity removed my skin as if a robe
And draped my body in a satin that was mostly you

At times to lose all reason with my breath as hope
Holding you in my eyes, my most inadequate eyes

And yet, from far away you stood, giving me my sight
Holding out your hand and leading me to courage
Miles in a moment that could not delay the day
Drown in a deluge of insecurities and longing
Fidelity but an effortless advance
As I am yours, in heart and soul

And all that are my dreams, to share a love too deep to end
Belong beside you, in a purpose that was made in the breath of God

This Diamond,

   Wonderfully romantic writing.  I felt myself lingering through the first stanza especially!
