Light of my life, you have emerged from my heart's own darkness Leaving the darkness of your own heart to bring me back Giving me the strength to break these chains of hate Showing me the courage that for so long I felt I lacked Your voice singing the song of love to which my heart hearkens Spirit of my heart, you have awakened my senses with your gentle touch Making my skin tingle with the kiss of your gentle caress Awakening in me feelings unknown for so long Helping me find the love I've waited for a lifetime to possess I'll never be able to repay you, for you have given me so very much Lover of my soul, you have stirred in me the coals of passion's fire Fanning the flames higher with a mere wave of your hand Stirring my mind with the depth of your yearning Hours spent with you seeming like minutes, grains of sand I've always known it could be like this, my heart's own desire. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

A beautiful poem I love the first line where you say emerged from my hearts own darkness (hope I got that right! I forgot to type it down!!) This sings from a heart filled with love Sven. Thanks for sharing it with us ![]() "What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies." -Aristotle |

Sven, this is very nice. I like the unique rhyme pattern. You always do a great job with romantic poetry. Must be why you have a groupie of poetry lovers hanging on your every word. Nice work. A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives. |
