The Gift Of Love
Inside closets
I hid
beneath
old trunks
of
memories,
Exhaling bad habits
I'd grown
accustomed
too, Through
many years and
fallen tears.
Then she kissed me
with lips
soft in hope,
Wet in pleasure
of finding a man who
simply wanted to
cherish
the love they both
wanted to share.
The door
opened
I stepped into
her light
found my way into
shining love,
In her eyes
her heart,
And she handed me
the gift,
The gift that is she.
And I am
a better man standing
here, Embraced
in the beauty of her...
