A love like none before
by Bonnie Boutelle
Like no one
before
or since
I carry your heart
in my heart
you are inside me
like
my own pulse
a word
a rustle of sound
a hint of your
presence
are all it takes
to throw me into ecstasy
you contain
all the sweetness
the aroma of
flowers
soft winds
light rain
bright sun
glowing moon
the essence of
everything
I want
and without you
I could not taste
the sourness of
apples
the tartness of
red wine
the pearliness of
persimmons
without crying
without you
every day would be Monday
without you
there would be no
point
in anything
do not let there be
any time
without you
ever
my love
