"Love Poem"
Dancing towards me to the beat of the lyre
I am entranced by your beautiful everything
Perhaps the greatest seductress I have ever met
You fill me with honeysuckle flowers
Until I, too, had become honeysuckle flowers
And it was then that you smiled at me
Please fill my life with meaning and purpose
So that I find the strength to go on
In you my unborn children
In you the fruits of all my suffering
In you the undefeated sting that conquers all
Like a windswept bark beating towards you
I feel you coming closer into my ocean
My heart is an ocean and you are the boat
That considers me like an angel
Oh, save my life, I timidly think
And give me something to fight for
But there are only whispers now
And I am stuck in the wind
Though I have fought many battles
To lay by your side in bed
And oh my soul so weary
Yet you were its mount
I dream of finding another person
Who I think has suffered the way you have
It's your suffering that makes you beautiful
And there are many more to save
I'll send you some cool mountain cherries
To soothe you in your fever
The Will of the heart that's not ceased to beat
Is the Will of my heart for you
He tried with all his weary heart
He tried so hard to please me
And I failed him and in this
The smile after much labor
I'll try to let you go
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
