WORDS OF LOVE

How elegant your words
deep, powerful, moving,
expressions of your love
striking to the very core,
titillating all my senses
bringing utter happiness,
shedding ardent tears of
unbridled joy loving you.

The anticipation, excitement
of our forthcoming union
like the spawning of a tropical
hurricane, will gather speed,
momentum until its power
will sweep us far, far aloft
bonding our hearts forever
in unconstrained pure love.

Your heart is the melody
of a beautiful note
Your soul the river of life
Your eyes the mirror
reflecting bright stars
Your smile
the pale moon above.
My lady, my love
I cannot bear to wait
for us to share our love
like a mantle of warmth
the cold mist keeps away
we will brave the night
waiting for our new dawn.
