Richard Lamoureux Poet Free verse

Chambers of My Heart

I do not wish to keep you small
Within a tiny vest pocket
You my dear
You reside within the chambers of my heart
A place so large God's spirit lives here

You walk through the archways of my mind
Whispering sweet sounds to my inner ear
Your essence oscillates through my soul
For I am you and you are me

Without you
There would be an infinite sadness
You and I were made for eternity
You are the realization of my dreams
The symphony of my joy
The gift I could not fully imagine

I marvel at the wonder of you
Thankful
Set free
You are with me 
Residing
Within the chambers of my heart
