Come my dove, there’s a coy fragrance on the air

Near the gold-gilded glow of our roses there,

Year by year they’ve matured in Love’s garden fair

To bloom anew each Spring!

See their blush in the hush of the evening hours

How their deepening gold pales Youth’s passion flowers

Breath in deep, feel the sweep of God’s fragrant power

Come dream with me!

See how soon, we both shall fly away

With the true and faithful on that Day

Hallelujah, we must watch and pray

Draw close with me.

When others talk about him

I see it in your eyes

That longing look of love

You can’t disguise.

I sensed before we married

The deeper love you carried

In your heart –I knew

Your love for him was true

Yet knowing, still I said “I do.”

I’ve never seen you with him

Yet I know you’ll miss him

If I’m in the way

When he calls today.

Unseen he comes before me

I see that you adore the

Way he makes you feel.

I know he’s real

But he’s no ordinary man.

When you opened your hand and your fingers pressed

Into mine soft winds blew through.

When you opened your lips and that love confessed

How I thrilled to hear “I do!”

How I thrilled to hear “I do!”

When you closed your lips and pressed that love

Into mine with prayers imbued

In your open arms in love’s sweet embrace

I felt my worth anew.

I felt my worth anew.

You…You’re the only one

My joys had not begun

‘Till you said “I do.”

There, glowing as my bride

Vowing you’d confide

In all I’d do.

We felt our flames twofold

Merging… then implode

into One.

Now the years have proved our name’s

Not simply just the same…

As begun.

We are One.

How will it be with us my love when we’ve lived one thousand years

Then having passed our earthly tests both with selfless love ensured?

What will this marriage have become on sinless earth made new?

Oh can you tell me how this love unfolds that made me one with you?

How will it be with us my love when we’ve lived ten thousand years

And seen vast worlds now yet unknown still veiled from human tears

What will this marriage have become when countless friends endear

Our hearts in universal love, will we still be called “My Dear.”

How will it be with us my love when we’ve lived one million years

Communed with God and angel hosts, and explored endless spheres?

And will there be a place where we return to share alone

Our deepest thoughts and fondest words in our own eternal home?

Read more of How will it be with us my love..

You have loved me

Really loved me

I’m convinced now

It’s true

Not for favors

Or earthly pleasures

God shares pure Love

Through you

Though you’d perish

I would cherish

Till I’d perish

This one truth

You once loved me

Oft thought of me

Held and hugged me

In your youth

When my life, soon departed, approaches its end

Oh what thought most deep-hearted at death will descend?

It will be you. All about you. You are the one I’ve loved life through.

Into the depths of dying prayer You will be there sweetening death’s air.

And I know just because you have loved me, loved me in mercy, faithful and true,

My thoughts will dwell on you.

But how will I tell you when sighing in death

That just knowing you’ve loved me enchants my last breath?

I’ll tell you now. I’ll sing it loud. I’ll stop the rain. I’ll part the clouds.

Trumpet my joy, angels divine. I lucky boy. Cindy is mine.

And I pray in our seasons of laughter, of sighing, crying and hugs

You’ll always feel my love.

I hear you call and know you need a hand.

I come to you to show myself the man

Who’s privileged to care for you, defend your dreams and cheer for you

Yet try not show my need to know

You’re needing me . . .  You’re needing me.

I rub your back, your shoulders, neck and arms

Your moans and groans betray your trusting charms

And when your feet are tired & sore, One by one, I glad rub more

Yet try not show I love to know

You’re needing me . . .  You’re needing me.

Just when we’re nestled down to sleep at last,

You softly share — your thirst forgot its glass

I rise and turn the lights back on, & soon return, your brave Don Juan

Yet try not show, ’tis joy to know

You’re needing me . . .  You’re needing me.

I Am the One of whom wrote holy men of old

The ancient record of a time by angels told,

When flowers flowed as rivers through a garden fair

All nature sang its perfect praises on the air.

It was your bridal suite according to the plan

I and My Father had so long prepared for man

To share creation with a bride whose image bore

A likeness to the thoughts and feelings of her Lord.

I Am the promised Seed of ancient Israel

I long to hold the bride My promises foretell

You once refused to come beneath My wings of love

From every nation now I’ll gather you My dove.

There I prepared the bridal suite green and replete

New every morning lay My gifts down at your feet

Oh how I longed to lead you to My tree of life

Exchange eternal vows and claim you for My wife.
