Notes About The Poem

Love is the breath of life.  Finding someone that you wish to give yourself to totally is a rare and beautiful thing, never something to be taken for granted.  I wish everyone that reads this could find such love and the joy it brings to life.

All of Me

Take my hand 
and let the tingle that 
sent a shiver up my spine 
when our fingers first touched 
spread throughout my entire being 
until I shudder with pleasure 
in the joy of two bodies 
becoming entwined 

Take my heart 
and let the joy that 
your humor brings send me 
into fits of laughter until my eyes 
weep with happy tears that 
run down my cheeks blinding me 
from that which may 
bring us down 

Take my mind 
and sculpt it gently 
with your thoughts and let it bask 
in the kiln of love until it becomes 
as beautiful and solid 
as our journey 
together has been 
so far 

Take my soul 
and softly caress it with 
whispers that I will remember always 
as they become secret memories 
to bring a smile to my face 
and happiness within 
left to linger when 
we are apart 

Take all of me 
keep me safe and 
warm within your arms 
for without you I no longer 
have worth for anyone else 
as your love has spoilt me 
for this I will remain 
forever yours.

Thank you Edward! This was so intensely personal to me that it took me a long time to be able to share it. Comments like yours make having shared that part of me with the world much easier. Again, I thank you and I wish you all the best.
