Secret

...I love you.

Like a work of classic art 

revealing soul and heart,

all that you mean to me 

is recorded from the start.

Museum quality 

in a colorful dream, 

embrace of you and I

scripted to memory.

It must be magic

or a spell that I see,

when I close my eyes

and find you here with

me. 

I felt it through the day 

the joy that comes my way,

bringing a special time 

that I can write to rhyme.

As my fingers began to type 

the words escaped the mind,

telling of a tale of love
a treasure that leaves a sign. 

This embrace is so majestic

it can surely be traced 

from both the heart and soul

which found that special place.

No one could ever see 

or feel what you mean to me, 

this secret lies deep within 

as if my life begins again. 

Kisses so very sweet 

left here for you and I

with whispers of love 

that escape from inside.

So far away but as close 

as each breath I take, 

deep within my heart

whether asleep or awake.

No Picasso or a Botticelli 

but a contender just the same, 

truly felt within our hearts

where forever is engraved.

I think of the seasons, 

my favorite is spring

flowers in bloom and

with each day a new 

dream. 

The petals open 

like my heart to you

revealing my soul 

as only love can do.
