I Hear Your Heart Call. (Sestina)

by Steven Beesley   Sep 18, 2005


I have been there
Again to venture once more
Where I find my heart wants to be
To be so enraptured by love
Where I yearn to be once again
You have woken me with your heart's call

Your love beckons me with it's sweet call
Soft words you whisper welcome me there
My joy to love once again
Loving tenderness with me once more
The feeling of being in love
No other place I would rather be

I wish this state would forever be
Awaken everyday to sweet love's call
To joy and happiness of being so in love
The warmth and sweetness that is always there
Your love I want more and more
To hold and kiss you again and again

Arise each day with you beside me and loving me again
You my soul mate, you will always be
Our hearts entwined with each passing year even more
I hear your soul, I hear it's call
I will always be near, I will always be there
Time shall never out live our love

Stronger each day, grows our love
No on else can touch my heart like you do ever again
As your love will always be there
The only one love that was meant to be
Sweetheart, I will only hear you call
Loving each day we share, each day that passes even more

I will not ask or want for more
You are the one, my only love
Responding gladdy to your every beck and call
Time will pass but then again
Always with you is where I want to be
You always care, you are always there

Should I live again once more, I would still love you again
My love you are always there, you will always be
There is one love, to my heart you always call
