Opulence Amidst life that speaks in tones of everyday normalcy richness can get lost beauty can be taken for Granted the first awareness that you created was mellowness but at its center was diffused beauty The earth did stand still nothing sees so keenly as a heart that has been opened and stunned where You were standing all things fled to a distance you were left alone a sacred hollowness surrounded you Love creates the environment in an instant when it sees possibilities a life is being proposed a union For life is conjured a story of place and promise runs in all directions only the night breeze can speak These things with perfect eloquence tender embrace surrender that creates trust takes and binds all Fear lets two souls become one in incomparable measures perfection known in no better terms two Forms elegantly expressed they move in emotional storms that lead to discovery of what each has at Their core and they find with amazement that they are truly mostly identical what a rush when you find Your other half glory starts a dance that only ever widens to matrimony and the significance of life When you produce a life that is yours can any other sky be so delightful where else can such tenderness Spring when they coo a song that says were family the magic that was confirmed with a kiss now has Reached the flood stage of bliss little arms **** in that motion there is a telling of a bond that was stirred And began when eyes met and promise silently spoke and triggered a path that opened unseen but love Guided on the captured hearts that were meant to share a life it might be lived in ordinary days but still When you look at one another longing still stirs time has only made the shaky early days into a fortress Built by caring sharing esteeming the other what a grand opulence pervades seen in heavenly climes Stained glass windows depict your life truly the prince and princess of fairy tales are there depicted The prince in blue the princess in a white gown a small cottage stands in the distance there are no Greater fairy tales than when love works itself out in human life one line sums it up they are thrilled By each otherβs touch or I fall at your feet with weakness you lift me in your own powerlessness Our spirits as a vacuum then allows grace to flow it surges it disallows all selfish acts a fire unquenchable Burns with purist burning its blazing leaps in the dark night it shows for all to see a great love is being Consumed and lived fully I dedicate this to Ivy on her birthday truly love never dies
