My only true love...walk with me softly
through the velvet realms of paradise and
our souls will become as One. With you,
there is no suffering or darkness, for your
beauty outshines even that of the Sun!
Alone I was at first. Searching for Love
to quench my agonizing thirst. I prayed to
God that I could die! With these words, I
let out a painful sigh. "Please Lord, give
me someone to love or tears I shall forever
cry!"
Dear God, He must have answered my prayers,
for here you stand before my startled eyes!
And as the Moon awards the Earth its light,
in the midst of all death pierces through the
desolate night, I now stand mesmerized in
your presence, like a poor, blind man, suddenly
given back, like a gift, his sight!
Now I can see thy true beauty! Now I can
kiss thy fair skin! O, but to swallow you
whole, savoring every inch with my tongue!
Such satisfaction would help my broken heart
to be born again!
My dreams are now reality. My wishes have
all come true, because now, I can truly hold
you close to me for eternity. Softly whispering
the words, "our love shall never die!"
This love, no one will ever take away from us.
This much, I promise to be true!

A love poem set in drama and the supernatural plane where gods reside. Spoken with passion.
This is intensely romantic, almost devotional, with love presented as a kind of resurrection from despair. The religious imagery—God answering the prayer, the Moon illuminating the darkness, sight being restored—makes the beloved feel less like merely a lover and more like a revelation.
The strongest image for me is:
“like a poor, blind man, suddenly given back, like a gift, his sight!”
That gives the poem its emotional center. The speaker isn't simply saying I found someone I love; he's saying I can finally see because I found you.
Thanks so much. You definitely got the feel of the poem. Overpowering the senses through words.
