What Makes Love


I understand the depth of infinity as it has leapt from my heart,

Each threshold I’ve endured or crossed resulted of you in part,

Love nestled deep within my soul since I was a teen was of you,

To be received love must erupt outward in each direction too,

 

For direction the heart must follow the lead that love’s gift gives,

Emotions felt because of love will guide the heart while love lives,

Forever you have been my guiding light as my eyes seek you out,

Love creates a void filled only by the one who can remove doubt,

 

Love creates a melody of sorts that elevate in heavenly chords,

As I drift to heavenly tunes I seek a kiss from the one I drift towards,

The weight of the world has faded away as I pull you close to dance,

It’s you and only you that I wish to hold near when I seek romance,

 

Many events of love have transpired in fifty years of loving you,

Prior to our marriage when I would come home you always knew,

While working in Dallas I’d pray to see you if only a moment’s wave,

The excitement I knew and felt from just your smile oh how I’d rave,

 

There is magic in love far beyond what is given by luck or chance,

Our first kiss of love said “I love you” but it did put me into a trance,

No word was spoken as our lips didn’t part for ten minutes or more,

Yet I knew you loved me as I had said I love you many times before,

 

I knew everything of you and you knew everything I had ever done,

That’s the way it must be to prevent not knowing if you are the one,

Secrets destroy vows and create lost love as lie’s are created in woe,

Faith in your lover’s word is critical for love within the heart to grow,

 

She must believe she’s the one as he too must believe what’s said,

I remember knowing you loved me as war’s fear danced in my head,

The magic of love flowed in my veins as your image became a vision,

At times I could feel your touch while poses of love I would envision,

 

Many things of love must be combined to enjoy every moment given,

Lovers must realize no person is perfect so wrongs must be forgiven,

But Patti my little angel when you had guilt it was for what I wanted,

Love grows with age and each year it grows, it’s to never be daunted,

 

I love you beyond infinity yet love leaps from my heart each day,

With you at my side the difficult times seem to become child’s play,

I have tingle sensations inside my heart the same as a teenage boy,

To kiss your lips and to say “I love you” still fills my heart with joy.

The end. For Patti from Pat
