I Believe That

What your heart desires will touch and hold
you more than words can say.

What makes you laugh, and laugh again, 
will be playfully programmed on dimple alert.

What you dream of in your quietest moments,
will be subtly revealed in the softest of
whispers.

What you see will guide you to all that you aspire
and that the sun cocoons you with  the
warmth and grace you so deeply deserve.

What you feel when the breeze 
gently caresses your cheek,
will be a delicate reminder,
a note to your heart;

of my love and devotion
our life so sweet.

I believe that...
our love is for keeps.

Your thoughts are beautiful, your words are beautiful and you have a beautiful heart. Sorry, your beautiful sentiment has made me a bit emotional.

Hi Lynn, Another song of the heart that touches the heart of the reader. Your songs are ever sung in words that come together in love's glory. May your pen ever run gold. Keep singing the songs Lynn. Hugs....Mike. XX

Hi Lynn. Good Evening. Only the Mighty Free Verse could pull this off. This is why I love the format because the words just flow and come together to actually have an impact. Your words are very touching. I also found them beautiful. I found this entry to be well thought out. Wonderful in its entirety.

I wish someone would write something so beautiful to me. I love the playfulness of the line, "will be playfully programmed on dimple alert," and your third stanza is simply beautiful to me. It should be entered on your quotes page. Again Free Verse.
