Coming from nowhere, so it seems,
She stepped into my gaze.
A well-known passion from my dreams,
And yet I seem unfazed.
The positive end of my negative life,
So she seems to complete me.
I know I'll have her, as my wife,
To unlock my heart and set me free.
She came looking for me,
As I, like Adam, rose from my sleep.
It took the Lord to help me to see,
A love so true, as well as free.
The eyes of my heart were bound upon her,
It seemed that they would stay.
With no effort, I've been captured;
To love, I was its prey.
Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh,
Look at this work of the Lord.
She is my own, emotion addressed.
I see in her all I've adored.

Author notes
"And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
And Adam said:
'This is now bone of my bones
And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called Woman,
Because she was taken out of Man.'
Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed."--Genesis 2:21-25

I can tell this comes straight from your heart. A woman is lucky to have someone feel that way about her. You did a great job with meter and flow as well as rhyme. Good wrie.

WELL DONE
I love how you intertwined the Bible verse in without making it stick out beautifully written -
A beautiful and poetic praise to a lady, all th while still giving the greatest praise to God. Been married 21 years and God brought us together as I wasn't even looking in her direction.
