Your Essence

Your essence is like the soft song of a summer breeze, 
it soothes my soul and brings my tender heart ease. 
I was haunted by a long-lost love of yesterday,
but you saved me from the anguish of disarray. 
Now I see the secret that no other woman sees…
you are the only man who can bring me to my knees.

On a passing cloud there floats a dream fascination.
It came to me and brought me a true revelation. 
It made me believe that there’s no mount too high, 
while I see clearly the gilded leaves of Autumn sigh.
Autumn was the season when we made a dedication
vowing in front of family to start a crimson foundation. 

I etched a sketch on parchment a drawing of delight, 
our gentle and romantic silhouettes in moonlight.
For we share a rare bond and special connection,
one of perpetual warmth and sincere affection. 
Before you I was blinded by pain’s surreal sight, 
now we dance with passion under the bright starlight. 

You nourished me when I craved a love heaven sent-
now I’ve never been extremely satisfied and content.
