No surprise, was my love for you...
It did not suddenly burst upon the fields
Of my consciousness
There was no sense, or hint of shock
to discover the depth of feeling
That my heart could hold

I was not in total awe at the reality
Of the spell which I discovered
Myself encaptured by;
No confusion as to how to express
This hitherto unforeseen emotion
Which had somehow bewitched me

There was no sudden awakening one morning
To find myself totally in love
Having gone to bed with no such
Notion on my mind
No road to Damascus for my heart
There was no bolt from the blue...
Love, was not thrust upon me

Rather, the seeds of my love
were planted on the day we met
Then watered daily
By the warmth which poured
Out of a kindred soul and into
My thirsty heart,
Where tender roots started
To take hold

Where love then slowly grew,
and thrived
gently nurtured by
The tenderness of your
Every caring though and deed
As the energies
Of your own sweet love
consumed me

No, no surprise was my love
For you
It did not grab and
roughly subdue me
But caressed my every fibre
until I, spellbound,
simply surrendered.

This roars forth in dedication
and then simply wears down
to a tender mercy of
read...

I think you have beautifully described true love...the kind that lasts through eternity. This is the love we all want.

Karilea, as usual, I just love you for taking the time to read and appreciate my poetry.

James, that must be one of the most humbling compliments I have ever been paid. Thank you.

EA, Thank you much. Yours is such a great example of excellent poetry. I appreciate your comments.
