I don’t profess to understand
The power of Love’s transforming hand,
But I can’t deny what’s plain to see –
Loving you is changing me.
As a child walking on the shore
I saw the ocean…nothing more.
I cried, “Oh God – what senseless waste,
This vast expanse of liquid space.”
Yet now, with Love’s hand touching me
I feel the life within the sea!
I built myself a one room home
And dared to live there all alone;
It wasn’t that I did not care –
Just felt I had not much to share.
But now, beneath Love’s soft caress
I live, I love, and share my best.
I once viewed stars as nothing much –
Cold, distant worlds beyond my touch.
I had no need for cheap sensations
Built on simple constellations.
Then Love’s hand touched me through your kiss
And I knew that stars were more than this.
No, I don’t profess to understand
The power of Love’s transforming hand,
But I can’t deny what’s plain to see –
Loving you is changing me.

Reblogged this on hastywords and commented:
There is so much I want to say about this poet. He writes so well I feel like each piece I read takes me into its own emotional world. Each time I visit I cry the saddest tears, feel the darkest anger, and fall deep into love. I had to pick one to reblog but his site is full of emotional journeys that I just wanted to help him share.
