this is for my new husband, David.We were married this past October 23.  you've written yourself gently into my heart from first delicate verse each couplet laced with love and metaphors of romance your passion for me alone, set apart you are my song you've sung your way softly into my soul each note resounds with warmth your tender melody strikes chords of our merging selves two becoming one, becoming whole you are my love you've woven your dear spirit into my keep bonded by ribbons of trust our intertwining souls share lustful fantasies inspired thoughts, so deep you are my forever for me, you've spun lover's castles, ornate our rainbow colored passion builds bridges to tomorrow across rivers of life, uncertain we cannot know, the fates copyright2001 Lyra Nesius "poetry is life distilled" Gwendolyn Brooks [This message has been edited by Madame Chipmunk (12-29-2001 06:07 PM).] |

Sharon,... thank you for your reply and also for starting this absolutely LOVELY challenge. I don't know if you noticed but I made a correction in the last 2 lines.  Ariana,...Thank you so much for your reply too!  Parts of this poem were actually incorporated into our wedding vows, along with another love poem which I recently wrote.  copyright2001 Lyra Nesius "poetry is life distilled" Gwendolyn Brooks [This message has been edited by Madame Chipmunk (12-30-2001 11:20 PM).] |
