Love In All Its Glory

Within the petals of the rose
Captured in the fragrance of the orchid
Nurtured by the holy water of love
Drenched in the sunlight of your being
My love is kept safe in the woman
That is you

Within your eyes there is a flame
Born of passion, fuelled by a sacred trust
A woman beyond Michael Angelo’s imagination
Beyond the dreams of first love.

Your face worthy of every love poem ever written
With a smile that my dreams can,
Play over and over again in a world,
That only you and I know

Where we can walk, hand in hand
Through dreams that have not yet spoken
Down paths where our emotions merge
Where two hearts beat as one
 In this glorious thing we call love


Here our souls can lay down together
Away from this troubled world
To make love, for angels to envy
Where your kisses heal the man that is me
To bring me back from the abyss

To see the sunrise through your eyes
Hand in hand with my one true love
And when we are three
I pray that our child will grow 
To find love and happiness
Just like you and me

I hope this will always be what is in your life Steven; we look for it so long and perhaps don't recognize when we hold it in our hand.

There is so much romanticism in your poem Steven. I loved it so much it shows that you must love someone very deeply to write such beautiful words. So expressive of love. Loved it because it singles out every aspect of a women inside and out. Pam
