He was the grantor
Of wishes
And the bearer
Of love
He was the giver
Of affection
And the maker
Of dreams
He was the bestower
Of kindness
And the producer
Of happiness
But most of all
He was the keeper
Of her heart

He knows the exact way
To pull me out
Whenever the world
Doesn’t want me about
He sees me for me
And loves all my flaws
He accepts who I am
There is no hidden clause
He keeps my secrets
And shares his own
Never making me feel
As if I’m alone
He cares for me
In a way nobody else does
And he does it all
Just because

Writing prompt: Melted bliss
I once wrote about a place
That was neither here nor there
A place found between the realms
Of hope and despair
And in that in-between place
I remember finding what I’d lost
Yet finding that place
Came with innumerable costs
And I wonder now
If it was all worth it in the end
For finding what I’d lost
Only made me want to lose it again
And isn’t that how life is
Always searching for things misplaced
So many wonderful things
Seem to vanish without a trace
And when we think we’ve found our losses
We cling on with all our might
Hopeful that somehow
They’ll bring back our lost delight
And yet sadly our thinking
Often leads us further astray
Until we finally realize
We just need to go another way

Filling in the gaps
Life does have its ways
Often sending rays of hope
Even on the darkest of days
And when those unexpected beams
Spread warmth across our faces
It’s happiness we see
And love which embraces
Those gaps no more
A bright sunny future instead
Everything we’d hoped for
Depressive thoughts now dead
If only we could bottle sunshine
And keep it for the days of despair
We’d never be tormented
By even the smallest thought or care
Instead we look for those rays
Hopeful they’ll find us in the dark
For the tiniest amount of hope
Leaves such an impressionable mark

How do you do it
How do you send my senses into a tizzy
My heart starts racing
And my head becomes dizzy
How is it this happens
Every time I read what you’ve written
Such simple words
And I’m completely smitten
How do you cause this
These sensations of bliss
I get lost in the thought
Of your smoldering kiss
How enraptured am I
To feel all of these emotions
Saturated by your love
Amazed by your devotion
How blessed I am
By the treasure I’ve found in you
My heart fully appeased
By a love that is true
