Love Refined

Rose colored glasses long ago shattered...
No time for phantom kisses...
Nor faux acts of love...
The keeper of this heart—
will captivate me unpretentiously...
Taking me as I am...
Sweeping me off my feet 
sending my soul on a mission of surprise 
mingled with admiration...
Whisk me away on his magic carpet— 
to a special place with the prospect of sharing 
a spirituality that’ll rival mythical God’s...
Build a trust that no one can bring to naught...
Be my hero—my gift with no expected reciprocity...
Hold me in his arms with insane intensity; 
as if there is no tomorrow...
Make me feel loves heat 
with no intention of starting a fire...
Awe me with his contemplation of my desires 
without my asking...
Penetrate my heart with a percussion 
that strikes a cord of sweet melodies...
Igniting a conscious love journey 
that will renew time and time again 
as we vehemently love each other veraciously...

This would have been enough, Phyllis. "Be my hero—my gift with no expected reciprocity... Hold me in your arms with insane intensity; as if there is no tomorrow..." The rest was just more GREATNESS.
