Poem: Passionately

I prayed passionately for her
but God gave me you.
Now that I know you,
no other love will ever do.
You are the gleaming star
in the night
that brings an illuminating twinkle to my eyes.
You make me soar majestically like a golden condor
hovering in the velvet blue sky.
I float aimlessly like an ebony cloud
full of joy for your affection.
My waves of admiration flow to your shore;
my sole desire is to cover your beach
with utter elation.
She was what I wanted,
a delicious seasonal fruit that had no seed.
You are the fertile tree
that bears all the qualities in a woman
that I will ever need.
She was my world, and when she left me
I felt like a song without a verse.
Until I experienced your angelic face
and you became the center of my universe.
I’m the evening tide attracted to you,
the mystical moon that I gladly pursue.
I prayed passionately for her,
but thank God for giving me you.
