Our Love

Laughter threads its way through my thoughts Brimming with pleasure, proof that – “together” Is easier, more beautiful and exhilarating – Than whatever might be found in solitude, Seclusion from the intimacy and affection, Tenderness that embraces the familiar, the closeness Two hearts, two souls – joined by one feeling The friendship, the understanding, that kisses away Doubt, despair, darkness – erasing every sorrow With joy that is alive, like the light on the horizon Reflecting all the wonder, the magic of elation Shadowed by serenity – encircled by sensitivity The gentleness of a love far more alive than anyone Ever thinks to speak of – a love like the air I breathe Essential to life – vital to faith – required by hope Indispensable to the one who knows that this is… Love that comforts, consoles, controls Even the song that lends grace to my spirit The poetry that fills me, healing The softness of a touch more electrifying… Than I could possibly describe, love like this Is love that shines in each dewy teardrop It is love that sparkles through every smile And glows on the surface of one who knows Love is the endless ecstasy, breathtaking, eternally lasting Strong Emotions Poetry Contest Sponsored by Emile Pinet Theme: Love - Passionate Love August 4, 2022
