Speak so softly
With such tenderness
Even in the moments…unsettling
Certainly to love you
At best…
Is assortments of sweetness
Lulling at my bed rest
Time has seen us
Defined our existence alone
But together
We do something rebellious
By giving true love a home
Twas not fate nor destiny
But the choice to love
And let it be the savior it is
Resiliently persistent
Intense
Learning
…
That … a touch
Is never just a touch
And a kiss
Is not merely just this
But twice as much
As rose’s passion for trust
As well as lavenders calming mist
Towards the heart’s blush
…
Yes…speak so softly
With such tenderness
…
Love’s covenant
Sacred temple
A river of time
Flowing from past to present
That often deviates
From reasons and rhyme
…
Simply to say love will make a way
For the shortcomings
That came across the mind
For the duration
Where moments,
Though they seem
Too often time never end,
Greedily we…lovers
Time, attempt to bend
To seemingly
Discover love as if it were new
Again…and again
…
So that
The jagged edges
Of this trifle world
Could caress fragile flesh
Unraveling the sweet process
Of turning the soul
Into a pearl
Love drenched in abundance
To sun dance
On heaven’s gates
Where loving you
Would take me
To Elysium every morn
After we wake
…
Meditate on sunny Sundays
Mending our souls
In such a fertile way
…
Speak to me
Softly with such tenderness
…
Never end this moment
Or deny one another
These sentiments
Just the little things.. only a true lover at heart can pick-up on those everyday blessings that we take for granted.. forgive me, but i gotta quote this entire verse.. it made me stop and reread three times before continuing.. //Time has seen us, defined our existence alone, but together, we do something rebellious, by giving true love a home // Lord, poet.. you shame us with your pen sometimes.. lol.. absolutely shame us!!
