Analysis of A Life of Gold



A Life of Gold

The uttered words "I love you" is a term so vast and very great,
Before you now, I humbly write what those words to me, permeate.

A warm and tender hand, clasped in mine,
Amongst a silent tumultuous sea of brine,

A soft, kind word spoken from the depths within

A smile oh so genuine, and oh so very deep,
That the heart inside your body is apparent so to seep,

A hug so all encompassing, when rain is in the air,
When the angels are not listening, and no one seems to care,

A bond so tight, and pure,
And free,

A true feeling of oneness
And defined complexity

An all-consuming special gift,
Not to be obsessed,

For those who know, and are in love,
Are those, well, truly blessed.
