Love Poem: Nuovo Amore

Nuovo Amore

From the tumultuous sea of life 
comes the most remarkable treasure!
A sweet gentle spirit 
that draws me to it like moth to flame

At first kiss my soul knows 
the rare tenderness and beauty
of the one I hold so dear 
who holds my heart in her delicate hands

Just as fires start from a spark
our passion does as well,
fanned by the breezes of the world
and is now an inferno that consumes us both

Our hearts profess their secrets, 
our pledge of pledges,
we bare our bodies and our souls
and bask in Love’s warm light

Intimate comfort abounds
as if we've know each other 
from time’s distant past 
Sweet glow, sweet wonder
as I dive into your warm 
and welcoming eyes
