Holding You I turn to you in dark of night and hold you while you sleep. Smelling of your hair and skin I softly start to weep. More than any dream I dreamed an un- dreamed dream came true. The day I looked into your eyes. The day God gave me you. Facing all my doubts and fears and facing all my sorrow. As I hope and sometimes pray I'll still have you tomorrow. It's not unhappy tears I cry or some defeated attitude. These tears that find your pillow are tears of gratitude. I listen in the still night air to the rhythm of your heart. Holding you holds me together as I start to fall apart. For all the places yet to see where together one day we'll travel. How can it be my love for you still makes my heart unravel. As I turn to you in dark of night and hold you while you sleep. Smelling of your hair and skin I softly start to weep. Edwin C Hofert

Wow...whatever doubt your beloved has will surely crumble with this oh so deep devotion that you could weep! Loved it Edwin. :)

I write of love as I think it should be. Unfortunately not as it is. I am single if not married to my poetry. :) Still I know I've only known this kind of love in word.. But maybe.... Someday.
