What is a lover?

Thank you Joan (@joangillen) for inviting me to participate in the #PoemUpChallenge!
A lover is many different things to many different people. Here are a few of my thoughts...
~

A lover is a friend.
Someone who shares your laughter, dries your tears
stands with you as you face your fears.

A lover is an angel.
Someone who travels to the depths of your darkest mind
takes your hand, leading you into the light

A lover is a poet.
Someone whose words make your spirits soar
uplifts your heart, transforms your soul.

A lover is an artist.
Someone who paints your flesh with the heat of desire
every caress setting your canvas on fire

A lover is a guide.
Someone who leads you to unknown ecstasies
explores hidden passions, fulfils your fantasies.
