(Aug. 10, 2024) — Oh, splendid bliss to float like this and hold you in a dream,
In sleep or wake your smile I take into worlds unseen.
You hold my hand and lead me on to places full of awe,
You tell a tale more wonderful than first I thought or saw.
I’m mesmerized; I drink you in and study every line,
I learn from you with gratitude for hidden gems I find.
A pearl priceless for which the world is but a trifling cost,
In your gaze I’m held, I’m safe and feel no longer lost.
The princess thus escaped the world and found the motivation,
To carry on from day to day and without hesitation.
For in her dreams there was a prince who came at moment’s longing,
And held her close inside his arms with lullaby most calming.
Here lies the magic within true love, a mystery divine:
Beyond the realms of what we see, I am his and he is mine.
Nice poetry!!!
