The power of love

By Oracle at Delphi

The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight

Whispering loving words with the soft, smooth tenor of his voice while moving his body as if it were one with the gentle waves that lapped the edges of the white, sandy beach, he raised up on his elbows causing the fine silk sheet to gracefully slide down his tawny, muscled back while the suns morning glory shinned through the sheer curtains chased by the delicate breath of the wind.

Are rolling like thunder now
As I look in your eyes

As they continued to move together, looking into each others eyes where various hues of color swirled together in a passionate storm filled with love, lust and desire, the unspoken oath of eternal love and devotion was made. Her eyes fluttered close as she gave herself over to his tender care.

I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make

As the tempo to love’s melody increased, she held tighter to his powerful, broad shoulders while wrapping her slender legs around his strong lower back. Moving with the intensity of giant ocean waves crashing into a secluded cliff, he firmly grasped her hips with his work worn but gentle hands.

Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake

Their chorus of soft sighs and moans of ecstasy grew to a fever pitch of joy as man and woman journeyed to paradise as one.

'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man

Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

Lulled by the early morning chirping of the birds and gentle roar of the sea, they held each other tight and drifted into a peaceful slumber in the comfort of loves embrace.

Even though there may be times
It seems I'm far away

She strolled along the beach, burying her toes in the sand. Her lonely heart reaching out for its other half. It was times like these when the world needed its greatest heroes of peace, that she missed him the most. Gazing in the direction of the setting sun, past its shades of orange and red, she prayed that he’d return to her safe.

Never wonder where I am
'Cause I am always by your side

Fingers light as a feather stroked the back of her neck. She sighed and smiled as she turned to face him. He was still in his space suit fresh from battle but the smile on her face verified that all the sacrifices he made were all worth it. She slid her arms around his neck while he snaked his arms around her waist. Leaning closer to him, she kissed him softly at first, then tenderly running the tip of her tongue across his velvety lips. Their tongues slowly mingled together. Each savoring the taste of the other. He reluctantly broke the kiss to imprint the satisfied look on her face to his memory, so he could call on the image while in the heat of battle. When she opened her eyes she was greeted by the smile that only she could bring to his lips and a surprise gift.

'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man

She looked down the isle and there he stood, tall and confident in his tux. As she strolled down the isle, the alter appeared to get farther and farther away. It was as if she was walking in a dream trying to attain something she wasn’t meant to have.

Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

He reached out his hand to her and instantly the distance between them and their future vanished. As she took his offered hand, she looked into his eyes...

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened

There she saw no doubt, no fear, no remorse. Only his undying love and devotion. Giving her shaking hand a gentle squeeze, he looked down at her and whispered, "Don’t be afraid. I will always be here for you, angel."

But I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love

They smiled at each other and together turned to face the minister and their future as husband and wife.

The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear

Suddenly the feeling that I can't go on
Is light years away

The pain was unbearable. The doctors were getting on her nerves with their repetitive chant of, "Push. That’s a good girl. It won’t be long now. Just one more." Well damn it, she was tired of pushing, to hell with being a good girl, it had been too long already and she didn’t have one more left to give. She screamed in pain and frustration. She began to cry in misery. He wiped the tears from her beautiful eyes that he adored so much and whispered to her, "Listen angel. Can you hear it?" She looked at him liked he’d lost his mind but did as she was told. She tuned out everyone in the room then she heard it. The sound of their baby’s heart pounding like a beat of a drum. The sound gave her joy and renewed strength.

'Cause I am your lady
And you are my man

Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can

He slid into the bed behind her to help brace her back. She held on tightly to his hands and together they worked to bring the new life into the world.

We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn
Of the power of love

He was terrified as he coached his wife. Old insecurities began to rear its ugly head making him doubt his ability to be a good husband and father. He wondered why children weren’t born with books on how to raise a child. His palms began to sweat as he thought back on the trauma and tears of his own childhood. He looked into the over head mirror and to his astonishment his eyes were fixed on the site of his child emerging into the word. His wife gave a final push and God’s gift was born. When his precious child screeched at the top of its lungs, tears of joy fell down his face as his little precious baby took its first breath in its new world. He vowed that his child will never face the atrocities that he’d face. He’d give his life to keep that promise.

The power of love

She reached for her baby. As soon as she could and took inventory, She counted ten little fingers and ten little toes. She held the child close to her. Of all the things she’d accomplished this was by far her greatest. He looked down at his expanded family and wrapped his protective arms around them both.

As I look into your eyes

Laying in the tender loving arms of his parents, the baby opened his eyes. She smiled as she turned her head to looked at her husband, "He has your eyes." The baby cooed and snuggled close to them basking in....
