Purity

pure thoughts
pure joy
pure love
is what i feel when i look upon you
my eyes resting on your
sweet face

your beauty is breathtaking
yet you are the air i breath
your laughter stirs my passions
yet reminds me of the innocence of a child
your eyes see every part of me
and i welcome the chance to reveal
untold parts of myself to you

my thoughts
always seeming to zip by at the speed of light
slow down and rest when i am with you
your influence upon me
like a calming, warm light
in the darkness

my heart
forever protected
sheathed in its careful
unbreakable shell
was yours for the taking
in an instant
one glance at you
and i saw your compassionate, generous heart
as though it was my own

i happily give my love, soul and devotion to you
knowing that your guileless, sweetness
will treat it with love and care
that my life, my children, our future
will be filled with peace, love and joy
because you are forever a part of me
and i of you

for sha and shazia
