Treasure Shared, Pleasure Granted Poem by John Sensele

I cherish the love that brought sunshine in my hours of darkness
Love that lent me a shrewd shoulder on which I leaned
Love that saw gold in my loneliness
Love that from penury happiness gleaned

She bestowed on me new hope
Rekindling my belief in selfless love
So rare and inspiring she taught me to cope
With succulent fruits from her heart to have

To hold and to remove from me selfishness
That sometimes held me back from needs of others
To learn to value others' happiness
Before worrying about my little bothers

She grows me into a giant
Showering a tonic that changes me into a more caring person
Cos her love makes both of us radiant and more brilliant
Than stars that twinkle to teach us the love lesson

That reminds me to care for my woman
Whom I love without boundary
The woman of whom I'm number one fan
The woman who under no circumstance leaves me in a quandary

With all my heart I love M
Day and night she inhabits my mind
Where she surfs the soft centre, rendering the hem
Of my heart a periphery that never again goes blind

‘Tis a blessing she loves me
To nourish our treasure
Both of us to work on growing love like a bee
Fed by the desire to grant us boundless leisure and pleasure.
