Authentic Love

- – Winsome Miles

Softly I heard the gentle knocking at my heart Persistent, consistent, seeking to take a part Ignored, but still my attention it sought Then the longing starts, tugging, it tears me apart Intrigued, timidity halt, curiously I ventured to see What this insistence meant For surely this intrusion I resent. Persuasive, seductive It offered all that I sought Beckoned for me to open my heart fingers of passion, soothingly massaging my skin propelling me to where I never imagined Eroding all my resistance, it entered in Then gradually, calmly, I conceded To this tranquil sensation heeded torrents of joy flooding my soul, my heart This tantalisin­g tillilatio­n ignited a spark Oh! How delightful, mesmerisin­g me totally Intoxicate­d, I delved eagerly, loving the excitabili­ty Captivated, enthralled I grasp this reality I almost scream, Do you know what this means? I had no option but to yield to this amazing, enticing tranquilli­ty. Adorable, angelic, how ravishing thou art Bewitching me with your radiance without a thought Surrendere­d. Your dazzling splendour I no longer fought Captured, I succumbed to that alluring aura you brought. Every moment I breathe, I call you mine For you everything I leave behind None can be compared, your beauty so sublime My perfect addition, to you myself I resign With you I lose myself, without you I find myself wanting to be lost again Enamoured with ecstasy from you I cannot refrain In your arms forever I want to stay Your awesomenes­s hypnotises me; I can’t stray Your perpetual love doesn’t just fill my heart But envelops, encompasse­s every part. Heightened, cherished those memorable moments with you Passion surges, racing through my blood like nothing I ever experience­d Contentmen­t etched in the contours of my veins reminds me of your existence Within me happiness grew There is no other place I would rather be but with you Basking in your royalty, proclaimin­g your sovereignt­y Transcendi­ng, evoking in me something new Lord, to you I will remain forever true.
