O Sweet Bliss

Oh sweet bliss...
You found me in darkness enshrined
Sadness collecting like copper pennies
In a fountain of aging lines

With each new alliance
Connections eluded to flavor's waxing bland
Reminiscent of tasteless compliance
And refusing loves fervent advance

Each intriguing and precious 
If judged in a mirrored light
But in those elements missing
Prophesied sorrow of wanting's plight 

Then oh bliss you granted me flight
A wandering albatross floating 
On currents of his gentle affection
Wings spread sunward and doting 

The flavor of loves sweet delight
Now I savor your taste oh bliss
His kiss that alights upon my lips
A breathless Sunlight in mornings mist

Strong in love that came so late
This heart of mine he owns
I feared for time that blessed fate
The purest bliss I've ever known
