Glowing With Hope

My heart glows with Hope

Feeling your warmth

I have become the sunflower to your star

Something I see outside my cell

Pierces my shadows

As if a message Heaven sent

Touches me through your hand

And softly caresses me

With your adoring gaze.

Listen how such elegant words

My tongue professes

I am the troubadour singing your praises

From the deep blue oceanic depths

Rises effervescent emotions

As if fire from Mother Earth

Pronounces my affection

For you in everything

Love shares freely between us.

The unconditional regard I seek

Manifests in my soul

Transforms dreams I cherish in your arms

Your look, your breath

Your body so soft are

So close nothing comes between us

Only kindness and kisses

Palpitations of pleasure

Perpetuates in eternal orbit.
