What Sweet and Tender Love is Mine

What sweet and tender love is mine

What sweet and tender love is mine
That knows all yet is blind
Happy to while away the short hours
Content in our new found powers
Control of each others body chemistry
Brings with it an alluring mystery
To touch your fair skin yet so gently
Can explode within the love of plenty

What sweet and tender love is mine
That knows no bounds of space and time
Captured within a kiss to miss
All earthly contact, just a state of bliss
Showering your very soul with heavens dust
Transports you both and must
Stretch your heart to bursting point
But brings you back on feathers to appoint

What sweet and tender love is mine
That holds me captured in your mind
Feeling your body from inside out
And lost in wonder at what it's about
Carrying you with me where ever we go
Knowing all what you doth know
The trust we share will stay secure
Locked away behind loves door

What sweet and tender love is mine
That to the outward world will shine
A glimpse of our what we hold inside
Like rainbow eyes we try to hide
Just a simple joy at being
And knowing we are both all seeing
A glowing beacon so bright
To us it seems the whole world is right

What sweet and tender love is mine
That sees in all the sign
Of good people trying to be better
But communicating by letter
In a medium that cannot be spoken
As in the trying it ends up broken
A love for you so enduring
It gushes from my soul in endless poring

What sweet and tender love is mine
That sorrow and joy duth entwine
That at the peak of fulfilment
A tear springs to express our enjoyment
Of each others very soul and essence
Which is the very quintessence
Of love everlasting
And knowing we will be never parting
