My Lover

No more am I alone

In the presence of a singular loving mind, body and soul

To reach out to caress, the soft smooth skin of my beloved.

Eyes intensely brown, set in the gaze of a jet black brow

Lips rounded and welcoming

Cheekbones proud of their celtic origins

A gentle smile balanced with dimples

Teeth as white as chalk cliffs

A nose rounded as if sculpted by a master

Hands that express passion and desire

Arms that enfold me and say that I am home.

A soft voice that tells me I belong

No more am I alone

Today I can breathe

And express all that has awaited within me

Dreams becoming reality

Love exposing our common humanity

Thank God

No more am I alone

But instead, I find myself becoming complete

Long awaited in depth, two longing hearts meet

And the love grows and creates a new existence

Where once I was alone

Hope connection and deep longing

are all expressed in a kiss and embrace
