Love Poem: Nectar

Nectar

I tasted the nectar of your love
and it was mighty sweet
like honey thick and plentiful
a treat for savoring
all that was leftover keeps
for my tomorrows
with no chance of it running thin
or more I would need to borrow

I heard your song lilt on the breeze
down from the highest mountains
flowing through and over me like
rain from a billowy cloud
lyrics written just for me
music with a perfect pitch
sung over and over in my head
never as melodic as this

I saw a look I've never seen
there in your green eyes
reflecting truth and honesty
all you feel inside
visions of what was yesterday
visions of what we've become
a softness I'd not seen before
a spell I now fall under

I feel the strength of your strong hand
as it gently takes mine
urging me to come with you
exploring what we can find
you don't need to push or pull
I come with you willingly
as we go on side by side
with all that we believe
