Lady Love

The sweet invitation of alluring lips,

the soft caress of gentle finger tips,

slow warmth spreading from internal fire

fills my being with incandescent desire.

You are all there will ever be for me,

a glorious vision I never aspired to see;

you’ve filled my universe with joy and hope.

Brilliant, swirling colors like a kaleidoscope

enliven the once drab plains of my days,

I am improved in so many glorious ways.

Because you chose to grace my existence

I’ve swept away the doubts and resistance

that kept me tethered on a mundane plane

heeding false whispers to dream was in vain.

I am renewed – brought to full, vigorous life,

now freed from worry, freed from strife.

Because you’ve chosen to share my fate

I have the inspiration to dare to be great.

A miracle has risen like dawn from the sea -

the radiant gift of your love for me.
