She: (doubtful and fearful) You love me only when you see a smile When dancing in the breeze young and carefree It's only then you find what is worthwhile But you don't love what's there, the real me He: (reassuring) As the first morning rays shoot skyward Your smile breaks above the horizon of my heart Your face radiates joy, dark eyes prancing with delight Your wind song expanding the sails of my soul Is this not you that I love? She: (wanting to believe) You love me when I make you feel alright When you are sad and need a warm embrace You need me when you’re lonely in the night And then you ask to have my saving grace He: (reconfirming) Your love is my refuge, a sanctuary of goodness You drive away my fears, you dry my tears Gently I tend your garden singing lightly into the night Tongue tasting sweet love flavors upon my lips Is this not you that I love? She: (confident and assured) I am the one that you have made me be A fragile woman yet a woman strong The faith you have in me has set me free To be secure in love where I belong That's why it's you that I love A collaboration between David Meade and Jade Celeste

Thank you, Paul...That's how it is mean to be. Reassurance is a lovely gift to give someone in doubt. No matter how often needed....I'm happy to have your visit.

:) Thanks, Richard. I was worried about David not writing for a bit, so I send him two stanzas to get him going. We have two different styles and I like that because it shows two different voices. It was quick and easy. Enjoyed it. Hope all is well with you. Hugs...

Sometimes We keep loving those who love no one but themselves,We keep trying to savour the crumbs of their heart,until someone comes into our life and give us the whole fresj bread of their heart..zIt may take time,but in the end we realize,why would we beg for crumbs when we have the tasty bbread.Love and security is here..at last we are complete. What a beauty of a poem dear friends.To my fvs

What a lovely comment. Yes, some people only give crumbs....while others give a feast. Why settle for crumbs? There are many answers to that question, my dear. Being complete is the ultimate goal our hearts strive for. Thanks for the lovely post. This poem is all about realizing and cherishing true love. Hugs

Thanks, sweetie. I sent him two stanzas and he responded. He hasn't been writing for while. Thought I'd give him a push. Hugs
