My True and Only Love

Every waking hour with love and care is interlaced,
Inhales the very scent of you in every breath I’ve taken;
In every sleeping second, no dream of you forsaken,
Sealed with a loving kiss by the sweetest lips I taste.
Every falling star turns pale beside you with such haste,
You smile with calm serenity when Heaven and Earth are shaken,
And at the very core of me this fire that you awaken,
Burns bright with pure redemption, laying any doubts to waste.
Every day and night I spend in awe of your persuasion,
Your song it sings within my heart, in every pulse that beats,
Your guiding light illuminates my darkest, urban streets,
With you beside me, hand in glove, whatever the occasion;
In all I am, in all the world, in all I see and do,
My true and only love remains my endless love of you.
