You Are the Life of My Love

October 19th, 2007 by Linda Jenkinson

I am not the love of your life.
And neither are you, mine.
Illusion is an outcast we both leave far behind.
Now we dare embrace the reality we find.
Holding you close is, for me, just enough
Because you are the life of my love.

I don’t see stars when your lips meet mine.
When we kiss I don’t taste the sweetness of wine.
There are no fireworks when our bodies entwine.
Holding you close is, for me, just enough
Because you are the life of my love.

Your vision has opened a new world to me.
You’ve unlocked a door and allowed me to see
The stars in the heavens where God meant them to be.
Holding you close is, for me, just enough
Because you are the life of my love.

I taste the passion in you whenever we kiss
A taste full of desire that I can’t resist.
And no other taste could be better than this.
Holding you close is, for me, just enough
Because you are the life of my love.

I feel your power as our bodies entwine
And the strength of your touch when your hand is in mine.
Sheltered and safe is the feeling I find.
Holding you close is, for me, just enough
Because you are the life of my love.

My Mentor

September 18th, 2007 by Linda Jenkinson

You stood by me as I walked a road I had not walked.
You cleared the path ahead of us whenever it was blocked.
You are the breeze that follows the storm.
You make the air seem fresh and new.
You are the sun that pierces the clouds
And dries the tear-splashed dew.

You gave me the chance to read a page I hadn’t read.
When I couldn’t comprehend, you offered me the pen instead.
You traded laughter for my tears
When my whole world fell apart.
For this and so much more my friend,
I’ll keep you in my heart.
