Echo of Heaven

[ChristChild]

Author's note: This poem has been published in my third novel, Dark Tyrant's Ascension. It is a romantic poem.

Echo of Heaven


In her eyes I see the dawn
Fiery orbs open like the rising sun
Casting their inner light
Deep into my soul


Her lips soft as a baby's skin
Red and supple as the petal of a rose
They rise to meet my kiss
Giving me life with their very touch


Her raven hair drapes down
Caressing her warm and gentle face
Framing a beauty of which the poets write
Seeking its capture in verse or rhyme


Her touch, a warm and tender hold
In it, somehow, she reaches my depths
Her touch lingers and I am made strong
Her feminine grace ignites my heart


Wrapped in her passionate embrace
I can feel her heart pounding
It slowly matches rhythm
And beats in time with my own


To me, she's God's most beautiful creation
From her spirit shines a brilliant hue
And from her I receive a gift most precious
The love she gives me of her own free will


She is my echo of heaven
She is the completion of my soul
She was fashioned by the Master's hand
She was made to be my blessed love

Thanks to all of you for the passionate responses. I usually write poems to release my emotions on some subject, and I'm glad this one touched all of you.

I have many other poems, some of which I have placed online. Many are dark, reflecting down times in my life, yet many are bright and hopeful. I may submit a few more here today.

Thanks again,
Shane
