Essence of Love

Dearly Beloved

Taking me by my delicate hands,
you pulled me up
promising this is my last fall,
the beginning of the end.

As my feet nestle into your footprints,
a wave of peace washed over me,
that the world wasn't as I thought,
that my turn of happiness has come.

As you spun me to face me,
I froze
lost within the ocean of your soulful eyes,
slipping away slowly into your world of fantasy.

As I lose grip on reality,
you catch me softly,
sending quivers down my spine.

As your gaze intensifies,
I realise you're the missing piece,
to the never ending puzzle of my life.

Forget everything that's happened,
this single moment,
encapsulates a mysterious power,
undefinable by any means.

No matter what
I would never let go,
believing you'll forever hold my hand,
as I rest in the embers of your heart.
