      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      I remember that beautiful day

      The tears in your eyes

      Yet the joy within

      ‘It feels lighter’ you said

      For the Lord had taken you to

      The Place of Love

      The Place of Love

      It was where I first met You

      Where You held my hand

      Whispered my name so sweetly

      Where You looked at me

      And I melted before You

      It is the place of love

      It was where You carried me

      So sturdy, I was swayed in Your arms

      The arms of love

      It was where You kissed my tears away

      And I bursted out with laughter

      Where You filled my emptiness

      And my feet could not help but dance

      It is the place of love

      It was where our hearts became one

      Where I became a part of You

      And I became me

      For I found myself in You

      Where Your light pierced my darkness

      And I smiled

      For You lit up my world

      Where my ashes turned to beauty

      And I felt like a Queen

      Oh but I am Your Queen

      It is the place of love

      It was where You come in

      And took Your place

      Where You filled my lips with song

      And I sang my love song only to You

      Where the eyes of love

      Pierced the reins of my heart

      And I just knew…

      I was loved by a King
