My Love

Hair the color of blanched almond,
Sun-kissed ivory skin, soft as fresh cotton,
A mix between cobalt green and sea green,
Your eyes draw me;
Your touch, like satin on a warm summers day…
Cool yet refreshing…
Lips a soft pink, small yet powerful;
How you captivate me,
  How you search my soul,
   How you love unconditionally…
What is the hold you have upon me?
Can I reciprocate what I know you feel for me?
Let my soul envelope you with my love
My kindness,
  My peace…
Arms of steel, yet so comforting
Sends me to serenity’s bliss…
How I wish to remain in this hold
How I fear it all the same…
I give to you freely my vulnerability
Handle it wisely…
I long for yours to someday be mine;
I have served myself to you like the lamb to the slaughter…
Watch yourself…
  Take your time…
   One day, I hope, you will accept my hand…
Come, take one day at a time with me.
My soul calls to yours.
  Can you hear her?
I wish so much to burst forth
  To overwhelm you
  To swallow you whole
  To make you mine...
You bring tears of joy to my eyes
Lucky am I to have one of such grace
Such beauty
  Such truth
Hear my call and heed…
I may be your eternal one.

If…

If I could make time stand still,
   I would hold you until the end of forever came;
If I could make the oceans ebb and flow,
   I’d stop them long enough to whisper in your ear the depth of my love;
If I could scale any mountain top,
   I’d take to the highest summits to show you the fathomless reaches of my soul;
If I could call all the song birds of the world to my side,
   I would have them sing to you the love that swells within me;
If you choose this path,
   I will make you mine forever in eternal bliss.
