I Surrender To Your Love

Shadowed by a love that seeks not fear,
for true love is engrained in our souls-
I shall leave his loyal side never. 

Long roads leading us to heaven’s gates-
Tangerine eventides call our names
as we tarry toward forever. 

The clarity of soft summer rain
pouring with love as star dust shimmers-
touching my heart with your sapphire smile. 

And I still love you in deep silence-
honeysuckle eyes gleam in Autumn
as we fade into sunsets in style.

Entrancing songs pulsating with hope
resound in melodies of true love-
anticipating your touch, tender.

Mesmerized and motionless I fall
into arms that warm my heart and soul-
into your embrace…I surrender.

Lu Loo, I have to agree with what Caren said. I wanted to add one small notion. Your poems remind me of what Jack Nicholson said to Helen Hunt in "As Good as It Gets". You make me want to be a better man. -Richard
