When First I Saw You

When first I saw you, face beautiful, intoxicating I dreamt but never thought my dream could be reality Flesh to flesh, lips to lips, bonding love's infinite With desire and passion given free soaring reign. Decades later we talk daily by phone, our secret And still you seed my heart afresh with love's delight Flowers, I never thought to grow and flourish Garden of bright colours where I often visit. You captivate my Muse to compose your praise Proclaiming joy, wonder, and thrill I find in you. Voice soft and gentle, lilting, exciting to my ear Echoing within my mind when I am alone Whispered words of your steadfast love for me. God bless the woman who gave you birth.
