For I Cannot Unlove You

Sangria sunsets and moments of clarity, 
with tangerine shades bringing hope and sincerity... 
                                                      ...easing a troubled mind. 
I know not of things that do not nurture- 
I only know the beauty in mother nature and all her grace. 
Our perfect picture painted reveals all things lovely, 
like a treasure I hoped to find. 
Resting gently upon the reverie, 
                          I feel a glimmer of God's creation.

Just the slightest touch of your skin against mine
is enough to free me from any fallacy I may encounter-
I never knew starvation, until I hungered for you my love,
and you nourish me with all that you are.

As the tide surfaces the sand, I recall the most memorable sensation, 
moments we walked along the fawn sandy shore.

   Me...you... 
      after all we've been through-
      and oh, those things you do.


For hope can be found in a moonlit moment…
                                     and I cannot unlove you.

Very tender and touching. Don't even try to "un love."
