Premonitions of Love

Ricardo Saúl LaRosa

I have never seen her nor do I know her name,

Yet, I feel her spirit encircling mine hers to claim,

I do not know her only in slumber in veils her face,

In dreams sweet dreams I held her in love’s embrace,

I have not heard her voice a sparrow I am told,

Singing words of love and joy for me to behold,

I have not looked into her tantalizing green eyes,

Eyes ever wondering searching for me in celestial skies,

Love’s sweetness’ sweet a love that has never graced me,

A love lost in time and space afloat hopelessly at sea,

I have heard your cries in the profoundness of my soul,

Crying out loud for those passions that will make us whole,

I have heard your lips mummer my name over and over,

You have blessed this poet without ever knowing me moreover,

I can feel the love brewing and nesting in your heart,

Reaching out to mine for nothing can keep us apart,

And soon very soon my love we shall be united as one,

For our grand romance is near and love has only just began…
