The Web Poetry Corner - Ed Hanson - You Are the One
You Are the One
by
Ed Hanson
You are the one who walks beside me
Through flower painted meadows
And the stony paths we tread
The one who holds my hand
When the snow lies deep across the waters
You are the one
Whose tender kisses fill me with light
More exquisite than the sweetest wine
Setting my head to spin
And the stars in the night sky to swarm
Like fireflies on a warm summer’s eve
You are the one
Whose radiant smile in the morning
Illuminates my day
Like the sun breaking in the east
The one whose honey voice
Falls lovingly sweet upon my ear
Caressing me with whispers
As I slip back into dreams of you
You are the one
Who embraces my love
Nurturing it like a precious child
Protecting and caring for it
Like a rare treasure
You are the one
For whom I have long dreamed
And searched half a world away
The one for whom
I have carefully prepared a space
In my heart and life
The one I have loved long before I knew your name
