I have never felt such a deep, complete, fulfilling emotion as this love I have received and given to the man I adore--my first and my last romantic hero. this is a repost




How Do I Explain It?

 

How do I explain this love
That fills my every pore
Which formed me from the ashes
Once abandoned at death's door?
I was just dust
Beneath the feet of neglect and despair
Gasping for breath, dying in stagnant air.
Then a breeze of love gently past my way
Drifting across the ocean,
Through poetry, on a bay.
And from the words of a man,
Whose heart was tender with care,
I felt the truth of love
I never realized was there. 
Each word that was spoken
Was a message from the start.
I was like a broken bird 
He lifted and placed close to his heart. 
Now I am singing, flying, renewed, and free
Shaking off the dust that once was only me.
From ashes, like the Phoenix, I arose
Complete and whole
Because of this man who loves me
From deep within his soul.
So precious to my heart
Is this love that we share.
How do I explain it?
It's simply,
Infinitely
There.

Katherine

You have beautifully captured the truth of Michael's love for you. It was a living love, creative, life-giving, God touched. He brought you to the truth of your beauty and worth. Your talent has come alive here and is like food for seekers of the truth about God's creation of love between a man and a woman. You have had the best and God will see you through your time of living on memories.

Magnificently romantic Kathy, the epitomy of your relationship. You explain it so fluidly it was like being lifted by an angel. May his love surround you always, Tai x
