It was there
in your eyes
for the
taking,

forever in
your smile.

words unsaid,
feelings raw,

no sins
to confess

no lies
to conceal

like seedlings
bursting through
the earth
towards the
sun or
black swallows
fleeing south
for the
winter,

we are
one with
one another.

we nurture
life and love
to each other,

and we have
known it from
the very
first time
we kissed

and I
felt it
again for
the very first
time this
morning,

here in
our bed
where you
are everything
in my
eyes.

and I to
you.

like dreams
flowing down
our pillows.

we are
we have
become each other's
promises
to God

to keep.
