Ode To Love

Ode To Love

 

When first bloomed in gardens of delight

Bathed in the presence of endless light

Our hearts would know such to be requite

One so bright it graciously impaired our sight

 

We feel you in generous shadows overall

A Heart that beats only for us if we call

A world helplessly cried out when it fell

Felt the wounds in naked bodies to tell

 

You possess our reins and contain our beings

Touched by the thorns amidst glorious scenes

These petals greet when eyes have seen

In joy and pain, to know what it means

 

You were a precious fragrance in our essence 

An aroma that waited to be lavished in our presence

Our lives now perfumed not given to chance

Obsessed, daily anew by a love that knows no distance

Here where the sun shines differently and set as though kissing the horizon, where coral reefs blooms, surf greets the sand, musical rendition of waves pounding the shore. A salty mist is in the air and the verdant beauty of nature abounds everywhere. Learn more.
