A Poem by John Alexander McFadyen
"

A new year..............

"

Lainey

If love be true then it is given with an open heart,

offered with open hands,

breathed in words that paint the skies

and let two souls connect

in the safety and warmth

of mutual respect and honesty.

If love be good then it flows like silk

across fragrant skin,

it has no rough edges or barbs

upon which to snag sweet hope

and shatter earnest and simple

dreams.

If love be given in good faith

it has no walls to scale

for it has open doors

through which the breeze

of trust may pass

as a welcome zephyr.

When I spoke to you

you offered all of this

to me without restraint,

and so I kneel before you

and accept your kiss

and return it with devotion.
