I Am Engulfed

There is love And then... there is LOVE That overwhelming “take over your every thought” love That longing to “forever be in someone's arms” love That “I can't function without you” love Anyone who has truly known this love Knows exactly what I'm writing of It's overwhelming down to the core It engulfs us Nothing else is of any consequence It's all consuming, life changing, it gives reason for life Through the years I thought I had experienced it I was wrong Nothing compares in the slightest To the love I feel now For the sweetest lady I have ever had the good fortune to know I am the luckiest man on the face of the earth I won't question why I will just revel in it's warmth in the sheer and utter ecstasy Nothing well ever equal this rapturous feeling This unequaled joy After having the love of the sweetest person I've known I have now lived life to the fullest There is no longer anything greater There is love And then... there is LOVE An overwhelming sensation that can't be described I am engulfed

totally awesome poem with a message that resonated with my soul. I'm fortunate to have the kind of love you address. With it, nothing else really matters. The simple, sometimes annoying, parts of life simply vanish. Got to fave this one, Jack!

It is rare indeed! For me to suggest that I know all the secrets to love would be extremely presumptions of me John!

wow Jack, what a poem. May you always be 'engulfed' and hold fast from the power love gives, for sadly so many never find it. l always feel uplifted when l read your poems, it brightens my day, so thank you again for sharing your words. j.
