Love's First Breath

A Poem by David Lewis

Cupid's arrow has pierced my being,
Is this a dream that I am seeing?
She is everything I've ever asked for,
A magical gift from a far away shore.

My body lay here bound by the devil,
However the spirit of David no evil can level.
I will do everything to transcend this curse,
And by God's grace I will one day help carry her purse.

Rachel is worth every step of this quest,
For she is among the best of the best.
Flawlessly beautiful inside and out,
To the point where I just have to shout.

I love you with all of my heart!
Now to beat these monsters we will have to be smart!
Let our eyes lock together and light up this room!
Illuminating what was once filled with gloom!

We're old lovers and that much I know,
So let us go and reenact what is a timeless show.
I will find you in this life or the next,
Whether or not I ever receive a single text.

I know I have yet to see you in person or hear you speak,
However when I type to you and look at your pictures my knees get so weak.
One day we will finally meet,
And the ground will quake beneath our very feet.

Until then I will get no sleep,
Even if I count a million sheep.
The reality of it is that I am with you already,
So please be calm and please be steady.
