Soul mate
Your beautiful emerald eyes
Have held me spellbound
for so many days,
I have lost count.
Your presence at my side.
has been so reassuring
this I have been yearning for
all of my life.
And here you are
Your perfection exceeds even
my wildest dreams.
My heart beats faster,
just imagining your smile.
Why am I so afraid
to take your extended hand-
offered from the start,
to take me to that far off land.
And mend my hungry heart.
Its not that I do not love you.
Of this you can be sure,
It’s just that I don’t have
blessings from up above.
If God would only let me know,
that into your arms I was free to go.
My life on earth would be perfect
as being your spouse
would make me complete.
