Defining Moments Of Our Love Poem by Denis Martindale

Are written on my heart
And when I sleep, they glide above
And to my mind impart,
The fantasies and memories,
The hopes, the dreams, the prayers,
The yearning here to find release,
That only true love shares...

Defining moments of our love,
God meant to shine like gems,
Began as diamonds in the rough,
Yet now are diadems...
Now cut to size so expertly,
Transcending time and space,
Within each look you give to me,
Each smile upon your face...

Defining moments of our love,
Consider all they mean,
Together now, more than enough,
That none should intervene...
Joy blossoms here, true tenderness,
The like we've never known,
Forever-fashioned, meant to bless
Two hearts that felt alone...

Defining moments of our love,
To me, they're everything,
I am the hand, you are the glove,
With wondrous warmth to bring...
When our eyes meet, words fall away,
To melt upon our lips,
Cascading down until they stay,
Fixed to our fingertips...

Defining moments of our love,
Could fill an aviary,
If every day looked like a dove,
So pure and fancy-free...
Content am I to stay this way,
Reflecting on the past,
Yet praying that true love will stay,
For evermore to last...
