A Mistletoe Moment

My forehead near your heart

My hands on your waist

A moment for my hurt to rest

In the strength of your embrace

 

Your hold brings me comfort

Your heartbeat calms my soul

The only place of love I know

In a world where I don’t fit

 

You cup my chin to lift my eyes

And hold my soul in sight

Then kiss my forehead delicately

And my nose with soft delight

 

Then your lips pray with mine

In a tender kiss divine

Filling my lost and lonely soul

With a knowing: God is in control

 

For how could I be standing here,

Joined with you in such a prayer,

Living the fruition of God’s promise,

If Love didn’t exist?

 

Two strong and fragile souls

United in embrace

Blessedly making heaven real

Standing in this place

I LOVED this poem.  You have captured moments that I have shared. Words in that moment would be unwelcome yet the two communicate with a clarity that is frightenly powerful. 

A great piece.

Thank you for writing it.

Thank-you! I have never had such an experience myself, being an old, on the back shelf spinster. Its kind of a Christmas twist on the Romeo & Juliet dancing scene with palms praying... thanks again for your wonderful compliments, how incredibly blessed you have been in life to have lived such a moment

What an honour to have you compliment this poem. I have never had the blessing, priviledge or luck to experience such a mistletoe moment myself so I have no idea where it came from ... maybe Romeo & Juliet movie...
Thank-you. Blessings of the Season to you & may it's glory glitter all of 2015 in magical ways for you :-)
