In the Height of Love

I placed my hand upon her head She moved quietly closer to me We experienced a calmer peace That radiated between us She eclipsed my heart with love Bestowed like no other human We breathed as one inside Each other’s open eyes together The realm of romance was reached When we became as one Our light burns brightly Like the flame of an eternal candle Forever doesn’t seem long enough For our love to exist We surely will persist To live within the height of it Russell Sivey
