Adoration Poem by Maureen Travers

Prisms of light spark in the soft sapphire of your eyes
And I catch fire,
The blush of a rose caresses the sweet velvet of your cheek,
I melt with desire,
The silken torrent of your hair drives my senses wild,
My thoughts unwind,
I hear the beat of angels’ wings whenever you speak to me,
Joy fills my mind.

To watch you leave rips a canyon deep inside my heart,
A grief profound,
The very air condenses, becomes the dark of a solar eclipse,
No solid ground.
Then I feel your tender touch and I am transported heavenward,
My spirits soar,
I am complete; my dreams are all fulfilled in you,
Whom I adore.
