Abounding Bliss

a sonnet

If my heart was a flower in full bloom

Your love would be the sunshine and the rain

Your voice would chase away the clouds of gloom

One touch of your hand takes away all pain

 

So long I searched to find my other half

A soul mate who would make my world complete

The one who sings an ode on my behalf

From your embrace I never would retreat

 

I pledge my life to you, a solemn vow

A heart of desolation nevermore

To you all joy and honor I endow

Together, darkest tides we will endure

 

Upon each day with you I reminisce

The angels sing of our abounding bliss

This poem does read a bit like a sonnet in the confessions and joy of love...
Simple enough to be a greeting card, but also with some depth to enjoy beyond the surface.
It is a blessing to feel this bliss.

It is indeed, David... Thanks for reading.
