Unexpected Love

This love that took me by surprise
       When first I gazed into your eyes
Has hit me hard upon my heart
        Where, my dear did this all start

You are my rapture in the night
        As your love holds to me tight
You hold my love, you are my dreams
        You’re part of me...or so it seems

We dance within this fairytale
        Where hopes and dreams and love prevail
You sweep me in your loving arms
        In tenderness and seas of calm

Take my love, take all of me
        Renewed in love, once more believe
In love like fire, of passions kiss
        Lovers dance in clouds of bliss

Take my heart and hold it safe
        Deep within your loves embrace
Keep it with you evermore
        Know my darling, je t’adore



If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Tracey, a feisty redhead of
passionate poetry and prose,
your words are sweetly scented
with blooming love,
as magnificent as an
Everlasting Rose.
And the one who breathes
in this loving scent
must be enraptured,
and on bended knees...
at least that's what
midnitesun sees.
And Duncan agrees.

Tracey,

this is so gorgeous! I told you that true love was going to come to you! Remember back in the day when we were sad and had girl talk?

Very beautiful and full of passion, Tracey,
There is absolutely nothing as beautiful as a woman in love.......except....the poetry she writes.

You are my rapture in the night
        As your love holds to me tight
You hold my love, you are my dreams
        You’re part of me...or so it seems

Well, Trace...you know I love the whole poem but I think this is my favorite part.  Just kind of summed it all up, you know?
If you figure out where it all started, please let me know.  Though, I'm honestly happy just letting it be...and enjoying it for the unexpected love it is.
BTW, Kacy...yes, I do.

Almost forgot, I adore jets, too!
