Notes About The Poem

My Soul Cries Joyful Tears: Written With Mike

My wondrous love, my soul cries joyful tears,
when i do feel your heart beat against me.
As i hold you close, gone are all my fears,
and our glory i know shall ever be.

Your siren eyes they do call to my heart,
in the depths of my soul your song does sing.
From the heart of your eyes i shall not part,
all my love and care to you i shall bring.

In the depths of my love beauty i see,
you are the beauty, the light of my soul.
In your embrace love so gently can be,
ever in echoes your love is my goal.

Ever i know throughout all of my years,
my wondrous love, my soul cries joyful tears.
                      ~   ~   ~

What fulfilling love through the years we've shared
Our hearts pulse as one though age takes a toll
With no other would I've wished to be paired
Our romance lives through each breath we extol

What you glimpse in my eyes can be defined
by the same vision I fathom in yours;
A forever love, heavenly divined
Come and walk with me upon moonlit shores

In echoes our love shall ever resound
to depths far deeper than ocean or sea
Our hearts and souls, perpetually bound
Wherever you are is where I shall be

Tears of joy testify to love's glory
They verify years of our love story

Thanks for renewing our joined writings, Mike. Your sonnets are always a joy and an opportunity to imagine.

You two make a great writing team! I especially identify with this line: "Our hearts pulse as one though age takes a toll". This is a beautiful collaboration! : ) What a beautiful picture that goes perfectly with your collaboration.
