My eyes ache
to cry sweet burning tears
of immense
security and happiness
all those who came before me
who let him go
too much a gentleman
for their taste at the time
in him I have found
a rare thing in men
these days
his actions and words
his thoughts and feelings
reflect the beauty of his heart
the core of his upbringing
I wish to smile at his father
and say,'Job well done!'
in proving myself trustworthy
a constant soul
I unlocked the deep reservoirs
of his affections
drowning in his
adorational romantic fire
at the same time consumed
by my own passionate desire
for I have found
a man worthy
to hold what I've kept so dear
for even in his gaze
I know my heart is secure
his tender touch
and blazing kiss
combined
he is a mysterious gem
in a sea of degredation
and my two facets
he has come to know
the pure intelligence
and burning flame
mixed together
you find my name
my hand in his
his hand in mine
a connection we thought
to never find
but now we're content
in enjoying these moments
for who can possibly know
what tomorrow's sun shall bring?
but I hope to remain
by his side
he who makes my eyes sparkle
my heart to sing
and come alive.
All he needs
is to look into my eye
and I know
what no words can express
the language of
the two hearts
hoping to become one.
