Love Poem: Afflatus

Afflatus

We wend through life with hopes of one true love,
          Quite rare, such fits, that match you like a glove ...
     A blend of souls ... divine inspiration.

Once heaven found you naught but in my dreams,
          Yet now you're real, sweet angel, though it seems ...
     This sacred gift ... divine inspiration.

Smooth tresses, golden silk, frame eyes of brown,
          Those swirling depths where I would gladly drown ...
     To love's abyss ... divine inspiration.

Oh moonbeams dance your dermis like doubloons,
          The sweet price paid your form, as passion swoons ...
     The carnal cost ... divine inspiration.

Each moment that I spend wrapped in your wings,
          Means one less wasted 'midst those lesser things ...
     A realm of you ... divine inspiration.

How long I've sought the truth of heaven's light,
          Thus, now through you, dear angel, life is bright ...
     One in our love ... divine inspiration.
