Listen HERE – Poem – From Romance to Love
I held your face in my hands, I looked into your eyes,
I smiled, I sighed.
My heart felt warm, it poured forth love,
A friendship was formed, of that I was sure
A love I hope will weather many a storm.
It does not demand, it’s just comfortable
It’s simple, it’s sincere, no need to fear
Its intent is pure, it’s demure.
I speak some words, and they come out wrong
I misconstrue; I confuse
If I write you a poem the words will speak
Smooth and true, honest and clear.
I mean no harm as I hesitate
My heart’s been bruised and the wounds go deep
Accept my embrace one by one, moment by moment as genuine.
Who knows where this new love may lead?
A wedding, children, extended family.
A home of our own with a garden and swings
A future together, hopefully.
To be continued…
