You Are the One

Listen to poem:

You are the one I have long waited for The one who filled with love this empty heart Who gave me meaning and courage once more To follow life’s hazardous unmarked chart And salvage dreams dashed on a rocky shore. For this alone, my love, sets you apart So high above all others in my life A shining beacon in a sea of strife You are the one who brightens any room Like sunshine bursting through an angry cloud Or a shaft of light in a pharaoh’s tomb Illuminating features fine and proud. With the warmth and empathy, you assume, It’s natural you stand out among the crowd. Your radiance makes shadows disappear Bestowing love and warmth on those held dear. You are the one with the gift of laughter That guarantees involuntary smiles. Believing in “happy ever after”, Dreaming of beaches on tropical isles. Hoping, wishing, for things ever dafter: Cars run on empty for millions of miles, Teenagers grateful for all that they get, And days so brilliant the sun doesn’t set. You are the one whose love I will treasure Until that day the light leaves forever. Each hour I spend with you is pure pleasure. With a love like ours no one can sever The bond that unites us. For good measure, I will be your best friend and endeavour To make you the happiest soul on earth With nights made for love and days filled with mirth.

Very good poem. The last of the third stanza? All in all a very great poem of dedication.

Hi, Ronald, thank you for your feedback and encouraging comment. My first amateurish attempts at audio poems. I will improve equipment and "studio" and re-record. Very Best Regards, Alex

Just beautiful, Alexander. I must say I'm a little misty eyed. This is what love is all about. You are both very lucky:) I know luck has nothing to do with it, it takes a lot of work to have a love this strong. Splendid job!!!
