Love Poem: Secure in the Arms of Love

Secure in the Arms of Love

When all our intimate poetry
   has been spoken
and all the strings of our heart
   have been strung
when hope is sustained without question,
will we invite passion's longing,
and welcome vulnerable emotions
to find promises of enchantment,
from the hunger in our tongue's rapture
that will carry our souls into a realm of lost time
and scatter laurels of roses and purple asters before us
to breathe in their fragrant scents
that linger on the breath of sighs

where wishes overflow, from their well
spilling red onto the glorious sunset
bathing our skin in precious moments of solitude
as we lay beneath the altar of the glowing sky
leaving a picturesque bounty of beauty
in our eyes of sensual serenity
that reveals our budding blooms of love
warming the open petals of our inner garden
from a tender transparent kiss
   secure in the arms of love
