Raptured By You.

No great artist
could ever paint a canvass
or sculpt a figure
that could invoke within me
the reverence that overtakes
my heart and soul
when you stand before me
and smile with love in your eyes.

Words cannot describe,
not even in poetic verse,
the feeling that consumes me
when we lovingly embrace
and I find my home
along the curve of your neck
just behind your ear
and drink in the warmth of you.

Music, no matter how soothing,
even if it came from Heaven itself,
could never impress upon
my ears a sound so sweet
to cause my heart to flutter
as the angelic resonance
of your affectionate voice
when you say "I love you."

Overwhelmed and awestruck,
I am silenced by this love.
