Sufficient Unto Me

 

 

 

~ Sufficient Unto Me ~

 

They could show me the rivers of paradise

 but that would be nothing if your love ceased to flow

The cool of the palm trees would not ease the burning oasis of my soul

If you went from my life…

~

They could show me the footprints of the prophets

But if you did not run towards me I would be lost in the desert sands

I could smell the sweetest rose in the world

But its scent would fade if I could not sense you near me...

~

They could give me all the gold in the world

But one ounce I would not take if I was never to see you again

They could hand me the sun in my left hand and the moon in my right

But even that couldn’t console me without my beloved by my side...

~

They could offer me the whole universe and say it is mine,

But I would refuse because I already have it...

You are my paradise, my sheltering palm tree, my poet of sweet words

My scent of a rose, my sun and moon...

My night and day...

Everything I want and have ever wanted

That is sufficient unto me.

This is superb... your words ring of everlasting love and complete devotion.

[Lizanne]

How beautifully you bring into perspective the true meaning of loving. "They could hand me the sun in my left hand and the moon in my right...." Without love the universe has no value. You are truly an inspiration in writing.

[James Paulin]

How romantic! The sense of committment and endearment is so pleasing to the ear and heart. Very nice!
