If Love Be of Yearning

If love be of yearning and silent need To be found in soft hands of tenderness To care and give become the planted seed In love's wanton meadows that you caress To bloom in every season filled with hope This fragrant flower with its colored hue Will paint each frame of love's kaleidoscope As we turn its wheel with its changing view To dream of love with eyes closed and a kiss To feel its beauty as worlds wash away A moment tender with its subtle bliss Finds a heart yearning and asks it to stay A need so silent becomes love fullfilled And calms the heart beating, quiet and stilled
