I wrote this a few years ago for my ex-fiancee and it was later published in a poetry anthology, but I wanted to share it with my friends here at CherryTAP:
FOR MY LOVE
Your eyes, like sapphires, sparkle silently
In the dead of night, yet say so much.
Your ruby lips, so full and rich,
Make me quiver, longing for your touch.
Your body, sleek and sexy,
Like a jaguar springs to my loins
A burning fire that fills me with passion
And desire for our bodies, as one, to be joined.
Your flaxen hair, like dappled sunlight shines,
Reflecting its beauty to the far corners of my soul.
And your heart, so pure and true,
Completes the puzzle that was my life, making me whole.
My heart, once empty and wistful,
Overflows with joy each time I gaze upon your lovely face.
And my mind turns to thoughts
Of the gentle rapture of your embrace.
Words are not always adequate
To tell a lover exactly how you feel.
But one thing is certain, darling.
My love for you is real.
