A Lover's Hymn Poem by Claire Sanders

My friend, I call to you, my heart,

My very being, my all,

In my mind, there is a void,

A space retained just for you and I,

A secret memory chamber,

To store all our precious moments,

So I'll remember once I'm old.

 

My darling, I sing to you,

For you are my life, my very world,

In my heart there is a tune for us,

Encircling a space where my love for you,

Is so very strong,

It beats wildly to a tune that overwhelms,

Dancing off into the sunset, of all romantic realms.

 

I will cry tears with you and for you,

My soul, is forever yours,

In my body there's a part of me,

Where my flesh, my spirit bonded with you,

I fear the day I will feel loss,

My mind, my heart, everything,

My adoration and respect for you too.

 

I smile a smile of angels,

My cheeks dimple as I grin,

My whole being so full of warmth,

Yearning, and loves song, makes my lips quivver,

My spirit starts to shout and sing,

Come hither! Come hither!

My smile, my eyes, my lips are true my love.

 

I have a whisper of a kiss for you,

A tender hymn of a kiss,

Sweet such as that of nectar, gentle, caressing,

Devoid of guilty pleasures,

It's wrapped up and sealed with honeyed bliss,

It speaks volumes, uttering eternity,

My entirety yours, and given quite earnestly.
