With Joy, Your Singing Voice Echoes Our Love

With Joy, Your Singing Voice Echoes Our Love

Hold true this obsession of mine
that my world forever be free
with great joy and brightest sunshine
upon green meadows and Oak tree;
that my right hand be clasped with thine
nights spent in sensual display,
taste of luscious grapes on the vine
sent by your soft kisses each day.

Hold true this obsession of mine
winning your heart my faithful goal
pray our years all joyous and fine
fulfilling love-dreams in the whole;
with dance, calmest of interludes,
beauty complimenting thy grace,
we fly to lofty altitudes
our deep love, nothing can erase.

Hold true this obsession of mine
that treasures I lay at your feet
I forever let your light shine
each dawn waking to your smile greet;
with rapture born of life well spent
your singing voice echoes our love
your beauty there on satin sheets
and our happiness born thereof.

Robert J. Lindley

Wow Robert! This poem glows with the power of love's embers burning bright. I love your romantic poem and it is going into my faves! I have been dealing with health issues and making a poetry book for my granddaughter's 7th birthday which was yesterday, which is the reason I have been absent from PS. I hope to catch up soon. Love, Connie
