Is This Love

In the darkness a flicker of moonlight,
shadows dance. Kissing her long and sweetly
teasing, capturing her sigh craze delight,
she let out a moan unobtrusively. 

"I love you. I murmured, "Just you and I."
You make my body sing and my heart soar. 
Is this called love, or is it just a lie? 
I found my happiness I yearn for more.

I lie and daydream to belong to her,
feeling so incomplete and so helpless;
in me an ache causing a storm to stir,
holding forever leaving me breathless.

Never had to think of no one throughout, 
had only myself to worry about.

Very clear in presenting the depths of love's fire and how the mind dwells on nothing else when being so consumed. Spectacular sonnet with sweet emotional depths.. A pleasure to read my friend...
