My heart's struggle <br />Begins to settle slowly <br />Reveling in knowledge of <br />Deepening intimacy with you <br /> <br />The One who my innermost <br />Heart lies bare and cherished <br />The One who provides comfort <br />Of powerful primal attachment <br /> <br />The stunning beauty <br />When we are together <br />Our mingling passions <br />Widening our twining <br /> <br />Lives on in me always <br />Deepest of truths <br />Sustaining me with sensual <br />Knowings of love <br /> <br />A haven for the pain and hurt <br />The feelings known and heard <br />Being supported in every way <br />Calm amidst the moods of my life <br /> <br />This is the choice of maturity <br />For comes times needs must wait <br />And responsibility and commitment <br />Overwhelm all that there is of now <br /> <br />And so much so much <br />Left unexperienced <br />In multitude of shrines to the <br />Indulgence of the senses <br /> <br />But here is the place <br />Where I for you <br />And you for I <br />Have chosen to give <br /> <br />All of the I and the you <br />And the We for all our <br />Yearnings and needs <br />Wants and desires <br /> <br />And the feeling of peace <br />And knowing excitement <br />As we get ever closer <br />To doing for each other <br />What most can be done <br />One lover for the other <br /> <br />For it seems that it is not the many <br />That bring the fruition all of the wants <br />But rather the focused path <br />Of the true only one for always <br />So it is, that for now and forever <br />You are my only wonderful lover.<br /><br />Jonathan Arnold<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-s-commitment/
