Endless Love
April 22, 2001
Copyright 2001 Doug Pretorius

She opens her heart once more
he walks in through the broken glass
and gently opens the charred door
Her hinges creak, painfully resisting
'Not again' her soul cries
but her heart yearns and insists
His soothing gaze calms her deep within
allaying long held fears and sins
Her white knuckles rest away from harm
as she lets herself fall into his arms
Another journey through heart and mind
as he holds her hand in his
rightly guiding her through kindness
Her eyes close at long last
as her trust deepens and grows
there will be no fall where shadows are cast
Even should she stumble or slide
his reassuring strength will lift her again
back to her feet at his side
Her passion returns as she looks into his eyes
there's no questioning this love
for it goes on endlessly with no need to hide
Finally the kiss comes, the perfect embrace
the night slips gently into this magical place
Their bodies entangle in intricate patterns
of light and love
They know at morning's rise that all the nights
and all the days will never be enough

Love is such an amazing ... and terrifying thing. I think you did a wonderful job at represtenting not only the wonders but also a few of the pains that come with love. Great writing.
