'Neath velvet cloth of night and shadows, <br />my heart confessed its thoughts to the wind. <br />I could feel your smile from a distance <br />with the touch of your closeness profound. <br /> <br />The sun reached behind a fading sky, <br />so the moon could take its proper place. <br />Day to darkness, brightened by the stars, <br />leaving upon the blue waters <br />a shimmering portrait of your face. <br /> <br />You, with all your savoring sweetness, <br />tenderly pierced the walls of my soul <br />as you wove a new tapestry with <br />the golden threads of your hope and love. <br /> <br />Yesterday you offered me courage, <br />today you endowed me with your strength. <br />Every moment together, a gift. <br />Every day a celebration of life. <br /> <br />How lovely the music of your heart. <br />You are the air I breathe, sound I hear <br />and the spirit that gently moves me. <br />I don't wish for the moon, I have the stars. <br /> <br />This isn't an original of mine but it's one of my personal favourites.<br /><br />Aislinn Armstrong<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/near-you-3/
