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!
