To Love

Love, it renders even wise men into fools
A force that has followed us for so long
Yet all we can hope to do is give in
To something so wonderful

If one's soul could be a song
If one's soul could sing along
There would be nothing that I could say
To match the way I feel
So I will simply read you a verse
Forgive me

Even though
I've known you now
For quite some time
In life there's naught at all that can contend
With meeting your soft lips, oh so sublime
And for a moment feel my breath suspend

As tacit words are whispered to my heart
They gently beckon me to your embrace
Without a thought I readily depart
The world and leave my worries to efface

In your dark eyes there lies a tenderness
I am not worthy of yet you've bestowed
And so my soul is nursed by your caress
Where normally the sands of time erode

A thousand years together will not do
To weary me of one more kiss from you
