The faces of love

The right love, unlimited dimensions
Obvious as the rays that dance on the floor,
Easily visible in a shared look, moment --
Tucked away in whispers and shadows
Candlelight reflected in the quiet evening

Passion in the gentle moments spent
Wrapped around, inside one another --
Insistence, baited breath, waiting
For the next brush of fingertips

Tenderness in the soft touch of
Hands intertwined on a long drive --
Head lying on another’s shoulder
Seeking the comfort that results

Pure delight when the other enters
The room, a swell of immense joy --
The compass lies still, confident
It’s found its home, its harbor

Concern for an equal, but greater than
Anticipated, unexpected apprehension --
For the happiness, security, comfort
Of the mirror to one’s soul

Appreciation, admiration of differences
Belonging to each another, compassion --
Providing both the strength to support,
The needed soft place to fall

More than just desire, adoration,
Veneration, deep, ardent affection --
Reciprocated in unforeseen moments
One heart responding to another

The right love, unlimited dimensions
Obvious as the rays that dance on the floor,
Easily visible in a shared look, moment --
Tucked away in whispers and shadows
Candlelight reflected in the quiet evening
