I found love

a poem by Maryse Saldanha

Yes, I found love in him
Love so beautiful, love so true
Unimaginable beauty I behold in him
To him I pledge my love, I do

My heart melts when I hear his voice
My body seeks his touch
No matter how much the distance
He is, oh so close to my heart

I pine for him every moment
I long for him to be near
I dread each passing moment
To think he is not here

As the sun sets beyond the horizon
I yearn to hear his voice
But nothing do I hear
My loved ones gone afar

I cry in silent tears
None my pain can hold
Loneliness offers it shoulder
Darkness I now thee behold
