All That Is You

by Chelle Wood - Cancer

Your love is amazing
An intoxicating elixir
And I sit here and I wonder 
At all that is you
I am astounded at the depth of my emotions
So overwhelming at times that I weep
Not from sadness but from joy 
So pure
So true
I am swept away...
Your smile steals my breath 
My heart trips, spiraling through my lifeblood
Your laughter rings throughout my being
Heralding a response that I never knew was in me...
Your eyes are windows
I gaze through them  and know exactly what moves you
What causes you pain
When you look at me your gaze is so probing
I am helpless...
Your embrace is a haven
Keeping me safe from all that frightens me
Strong steel that holds me captive
From which I long never to escape...
Your kiss engulfs me
So powerful that I feel its essence in my soul
I am seared by a fire that rages beyond control... 
Your love carries me away
I am taken to places I have never known
So intense
So forceful
It spills like a cascade 
Falling into a river that endlessly flows...
Your love is incredible
A dream come true
And I sit here and I wonder 
At all that is you....
