You Gently Fill My Life

reflections on what I felt love must be

 You Gently Filled My Life

 

You came gently into my life

filling my senses with softness

allowing me time to be

embracing my being with tenderness

 

You stirred my fires of being

heating up the very idea

that I might find love

as you filled me gently with love

 

You filled me with your laughter

bringing me to the point of

acceptance of the idiocy

I would have thrown out

 

You filled me with hope

filling me to the brim

with courage

knowing I could continue

 

You filled my senses gently

with the scent of spring

and the colors of new life

the wanting

 

You filled me with strength

taking me to brink of

a crevice of sanity

we must each leap

 

You filled me up

every atom every cell

you taught me to soar

to be as never before

 

Filling up my senses

with the very being

fusing my heart

to yours

 

You filled me up

with the inevitable

desire of humanity

seeking to know

 

You filled me up

with the touch

of your flesh on

my flesh

 

You filled me with your words

giving me the timeless

craving

of understanding

 

Your humanity filled my senses

smelling your flesh

feeling the silk of your being

looking into your eyes

 

You filled my human life

keeping me from wandering

seeking no more

for flesh has found flesh

 

As you fill me up

I know life has found life

soul has found soul

and being is fulfilled.

 

You fill me up

I agree with The Tao of Bri, This is what True love is all about!
It is so thoughtful and so beautifully written too....The flow is just awesome.
Great work!

[The Tao of Bri]

This is TRUE LOVE! The most powerful force on Earth that connects you intimately with God..you explain it so perfectly! May it be if this is the past and Blessed Be if this is the present....You can tell you have felt it, by the sublime utterly perfect work you have produced. We are individual wholes to be sure...but a creation like this could never come form the imagination, but only form that divine interconnectness that is the greatest gift people can ever give and recieve...BEAUTIFUL!
