I’ve been thinking about this post all week and some of last. I initially intended it to be prose, but as ideas came, they formulated into poetry. These ideas were not in order, however, and I felt once it was complete and orderly, that it was better left in paragraphs.
I wanted it to apply to relationships between a man and woman, but also between God and us. I don’t know how successful I was; I just hope that this piece is half as beautiful as it should be. Inspiration is a funny thing; perfect execution is rare and when it happens, it cannot live up to its source.
I’ve been searching all the world, all my life; I’ve been waiting so long alone for you. Then I found you, or we found each other as it seems, a smile shared, and I swear we’ve dreamed, our bodies separated and our souls together in between. When the dreams cease, we are once more apart. I long to see you always with these eyes and though I’d love to reach out now, I know the moment isn’t right. I cannot tell you yet but you’ll have to trust. Just wait for me, with only ever as much patience as you need, because you know that I am worth the wait.
I’ve wanted you, heart, body and mind, that I’d be ever in your mind as you’re in mine and you’d not resign to any other, but that love would be forever ours to share, unbroken in our hearts. Let the past remain in its backward place and don’t look there; you are not who once you were. And as you wait for me, I’ll wait for you, with only ever as much patience as I need, because I know that you are worth the wait.

That was really nice. I'm not much of a poet. Prose comes easier for me. I've only written two poems in my life that I could call anywhere near good. I just used my newest one in my last post for Valentine's Day if you want to read it.
@SarahLynn_violin - sure
