We wake <br />to our first morning <br /> <br />together <br />as if we were <br /> <br />Eve & Adam <br />exploring Eden <br /> <br />for the first <br />lovely time. <br /> <br />The world unfurling <br />itself before us <br /> <br />eager to display itself <br />to our eager eyes. <br /> <br />The simple beauty of <br /> <br />your hand <br />in mine. <br /> <br />We walk in wonder <br />through a world <br /> <br />enchanted <br />by our love <br /> <br />leaving a trail <br />of cuddles & kisses <br /> <br />by which <br />signs shall you know us. <br /> <br />The river's waters <br />hush & hold us <br /> <br />rock us <br />in a lullaby <br /> <br />as sleepily we <br />drift downstream <br /> <br />our ever changing reflection <br />the most wonderful thing in this <br /> <br />world <br />made beautiful <br /> <br />by love. <br /> <br />And I <br />a 52 year old <br />teenager <br /> <br />madly in love <br /> <br />your eyes <br />the only paradise <br /> <br />that I could ever desire <br /> <br />your hand <br />in mine <br /> <br />the only Heaven <br />I have known.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-only-heaven-2/
