True Love Is Breathless
The evening's trappings were misty twilight
my love enters like a painting come to life
a vision I dreamed in a sunset's gaze of wishes
when I looked to the sky and wondered
if God could create a woman of breathless beauty
Whose dark eyes of brown were liquid
and mysterious with a wellspring of passion
tender and abiding with kindness
illuminating her beauty even more
She embraced my soul with her beguiling essence
and warmed the realm of my heart's paradise
offering an elixir of passion
that kept my soul from earthly needs
where I was tethered to her love
of unimaginable beauty
as we bathed in the glow from our hearts
and found a glimpse of heaven
that held us breathless
