My Love Song

Your face is
My bouquet of pastel hues
Your smile is my sliver of crescent moon
Your eyes shed flowers from paradise
In them, there are no lies or vice.

Your mind is like a waterfall
Of compassion and care
From heights so tall,
Sometimes I glimpse
The mysteries of the universe
When you smile at me
And speak your heart.

Your hands glove mine
Like second skin
In your arms
I am no
Separate being
I come alive
Like your craziest dream
My darling one,
Are you truly everything?

That's good and dear
And pure and clear
God's soft sunshine
And deepest diamond mines

A book of poetry
Etches in my heart
You're my whole world
In each blessed part.

I wear you my love
In bright vermillion
I wear you out
With inexplicable love
And watch you alight
Like love's prey in my eyes
And renew your own
In my love's light.

We're each to each
The other half
And Thank you
For all our travails
Are of the past

Love does it always
Though we don't know
How or when and where,
It has its way with us,
The last word
It belongs to love,
Whether lovers be
Ever so near
Or far.

You recede where I
Can no longer see
With eyes, like starlight
From a billion
Light years ago
I receive all your
Ancient mysteries
And my inner eyes build
The ethereal church of life
The heart of your Kingdom
Where I shall thrive.

Shuddering alone
In the sopping rain
What exhilaration flows
Through my trembling veins
On such a clouded day as this
You cover up my soul
With your eternal bliss
