Notes About The Poem

I Know of Great Love

I Know of Great Love

I know of great love...
the kind of passion that
surpasses ecstasy into
a world of oblivious bliss
soaring among the clouds
in the ethers of heaven
with a newness that
never grows old or faint.

I savor these golden
treasures within my heart,
within my mind that is
filled with memories of
past and present as I look
forward to our future
moments, suspending us
in love's rapturous arms.

No love song could express
the joy you have given me,
nor the Valentines of
intimacy written by poets 
with profound adoration.

Your voice is my love song,
your tender touch, my bliss,
your warmth, my security in
feeling, I know of great love.
You are now and will forever
be my beloved Valentine!

Regina Mcintosh December 8, 2020 at 6:04 AM Love this!!! You've written a great poetic dream here, seasoned with hope and inspired by love, and inspiring love... God bless you sweet lady Connie Marcum Wong December 8, 2020 at 12:08 PM My dear husband was my inspiration for my love poems. Now that he is gone I haven’t been able to write a word. Thank you very much Regina. I gave this poem to him Valentine’s Day 2019. He told me I was the love of his life. I miss him. Blessings xxoo

It talks of the kind of love I have always dreamed of and not yet known. Maybe soon. Thanks for this FAVE.
