Luminous Love Poem by Patricia Bankhead

Your love so glorious
burning like the luminous sun
You warm my heart
You illuminate my soul
You light my life
Your love encompasses me
It encircles me, glowing
The cold, the darkness, the emptiness
all fades in the light of you
No sorrow can withstand
the flames of your love
Burning so intensely
Penetrating every part of me
The search is over
I've found love
hope and tranquility
A place to belong
where I can rest and bask
in unimaginable and immeasurable depths of love
The sadness, the sorrow, the emptiness
that once held me captive
all vanished in the light of you
