A Test Of Love <br /> <br /> <br />My heart raced and for an instant I held my breath <br />why was I bestowed with the richness of your look? <br />and for a moment I felt such wealth <br />if only I could write my heart in a book <br /> <br />to see your smile and hear your voice <br />to feel your touch with my hand <br />it was not only yours, but my choice <br />who can know a heart or understand? <br /> <br />were they sparkles or stars I beheld, in your eyes? <br />and soft symphony melodies when you spoke? <br />eyes the color of azure blue skies <br />to try and speak at first I felt I'd choke <br />but by your whispers, the chains of nervousness broke <br /> <br />why at first the electricity between two souls? <br />that moves your heart to feel brand new <br />apart in miles or in depth a void, a great vast hole <br />and in a vault of memories that spark of love grows blue <br /> <br />true love holds hard to branches deep in the heart <br />a strong vine the two become entwined, a mighty force <br />cling together to stay the course <br />grown from seed deep in the heart, where corruption nor storms can't tear apart <br /> <br />and death itself quiets our words, in sleep no dreams of us there will be <br />until our maker will set us free, to once again be held like a china doll <br />and death and fear for all will disappear <br />the vows of love that contract still will be ours <br />and again sealed by the silent twinkling stars <br />again your sweet ambrosia kiss, again I'll feel your breath close to my skin <br />though roads we rode through life, at times were rough <br />we had each other when times were tough <br />I'll have memories locked in heart and mind <br />with love ever bearing your love was mine.<br /><br />Myrtle Thomas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-test-of-love-3/
