Notes About The Poem

A Gift

I longed for his heart
  Vibrant, alive, full of love
     Filled with music, a song of hope
   Imagination, inspiration
Feelings rich with promise

I yearned for his love
  Lingering prayers held my dreams
     Fulfilling lights, bold and promising
  Opening silence with kisses of faith
Dancing on hearts, pure grace

I craved his kindness, his caress
   The way he smiled and laughed
      The breath of his kiss, his wish
    Pouring over me like dewdrop dreams
Penetrating my pores with intimacy

I ached for his touch, his hands
   Whispering soft against my skin
      Breathing stardust desires through me
    Lighting my heart with moonlight
Flickering bright as my tears gleamed

I hungered for his feelings, his warmth
   Enlightening and bold, stirring my soul
      Gazing through a lens of purity, promises
   Brought to life by vibrant affections
Feelings blessed with acceptance

I coveted his heart, his mind, his feelings
   The honest way of his tears, his mystery
      Happiness, inspiration, imagination
    The fierce honesty that made him so amazing
The love that would always awaken me

I wanted him the way drought desires rain
   The way darkness awaits the dawn
      The way silence expects a noise
    Like pain knows there will soon be pleasure
And my heart anticipates his devotion

It would be many years before I realized
   This dream, my fantasy, my hope
      Becoming a reality, assured and fulfilling
    Like laughter, inspiration, joy - knowing
Love like this is my heart’s wonder, a miracle, a gift!

Beautiful descriptive poem of love Gina. reminds me of a story I wrote in a book about a small boy named Seeker of Truth, after being held under the water for a minute, the gasping boy was raised and the wise old man said to him, "when you want Love like you wanted the breathe of air, Love will find you and meet your every need". Your imagery and words were so passionate, unconditional Love. Thanks for sharing with us Gina. Blessings, Bill
