Discovering Your Love
A Poem by Richell Willams

Seeking out to find your love and discovering it has better results
than uncorking a bottle of aged wine that was bottled in the
1800s
Do not look upon me as dark because my personal actions have
resulted in a decade of prison life.
My shadow follows the steps of your shadow until the moment
our flesh becomes one
Your embrace is as secure as the gates that separate me
from any freedom
You are the rose of all roses; the lily of the valleys
Like an apple tree amongst the trees of the forest; so
is my unfound love amongst women
I'll sit down in her shade with great delight; and her
fruit will be sweet to my taste
The winter of lovelessness is past; the rain is over and
gone.
The sun is shining and the flowers appear on earth
The voice of the turtledove is heard in our land of love;
while only the two of us listen
Discovering your love is like glancing at a manicured
garden; it takes my breath away
A spring of fresh water; which quenches my love
thirst;
A waterfall mist; which showers me with your
cooling affection
From the north, south, east, and west; your love
consumes me like a tornado
It picks me up and drops me off on your island of
eternal bliss
Bees are attracted to flowers which produce honey in the
end; the magnetism of your love attracts me just the same
and in the end we've both tasted sweet love
I sleep but my heart is awake; it is the voice of my
beloved calling me
She knocks, but when I arise to answer; she vanishes
Her love is captivating like the rising of the sun; only to
be replaced at night by the arrival of the moon
Her fragrance gives off a pheromone that only I can
detect
When her wind blows my way; I'll know where to
find her
Until then my heart will stay committed to finding you
Intense and passionate—like flames of fire; so is
my desire to conquer this dilemma of discovering your
love. Oh love... Where art thou?
