The Heart I Never Had Before

Laying in bed with you this morning,  your breath hot against my chest.
Hearing the comfort in the rhythm of your breathing,  I can finally lay my mind to rest.
I wish I could lay in this warmth with you forever,  and leave the cold of the outside world far behind.
As you quietly wake it`s our bodies we can rediscover,  we will be alone together and forget the rules of time.

It`s your lips on my lips.
It`s your hands in my hands.
It`s your body close beside me.
It`s almost more than I can stand.
It`s your voice in my ear.
It`s to love without fear.
You are more than I could ever ask for.
My love,  your the heart I never had before.

I wonder is this what it`s like to be in heaven.
With you I feel like I`m floating all the time.
I have no other words to use to describe this.
Lost in your eyes, the rest of the world to me becomes blind.
With in each others arms is all I ever needed.
Being so close,  my heart melts into yours.
If the rest of the world could see our love  than they would feel cheated..
My love....you are the heart I never had before.

It`s your lips on my lips.
It`s your hands in my hands.
It`s your body close beside me.
It`s almost more than I can stand.
It`s your voice in my ear.
It`s to love without fear.
You are more than I could ever ask for.
My love,  your the heart I never had before.

Dear new friend/excellent entry but not a villanella./ The villanelle has 19 lines, 5 stanzas of three lines and 1 stanza of four lines with two rhymes and two refrains. The 1st, then the 3rd lines alternate as the last lines of stanzas 2, 3, and 4, and then stanza 5 (the end) as a couplet. It is usually written in tetrameter (4 feet) or pentameter./ This verse might be called, Verse, Lyric, or Prose poetry? just change the form title please..THANKS SO Much for the entry!!
