When I Poem by neil derek singleton

As I woke to the sun rushing through my window My mind was filled with thoughts other As the sun filled my room with warmth it reminded me Of the warmth I feel from within her heart I walk outside into the beautiful warm sunshine A gentle breeze brushes softly against my face It reminds me of her soft kisses, her gentle touch I stand and close my eyes, I feel her hands touch me I feel her breath softly on my neck I turn and as I take her in my arms I whisper softly What a beautiful day A special world for you and me A special bond one cannot see It wraps us up in its cocoon And holds us fiercely in its womb. Its fingers spread like fine spun gold Gently nestling us to the fold Like silken thread it holds us fast Bonds like this are meant to last. And though at times a thread may break A new one forms in its waken To bind us closer and keep us strong In a special world, where we belong. So often when I am embracing you, It seems that you exist in this world only because of me and I exist because of you. It's not easy to wander in this world and not lose one's way, but the greatest happiness of all is in giving joy to one's beloved. And if the king can have his throne, and if the bird can have his Spring nest, and God can have his heaven, then I, my sweetheart, I can have you!
