Until Your Kiss I Savor

 

Was it captivation or wonder

       that first led my heart to you?

Perhaps only fascination with fleeting

thoughts of some chance to pursue.

 

And with every glance my way,

those tempting eyes softly persuade,

your inviting lips dispute any delay.

 

Bid me come closer and touch your heart anew.

Allow me to delight in the warmth

of every breath that swirls, streams inside you.

 

Slow, sweet gentle breaths that excite me.

Draw me to your sumptuous lips

        as they urge me to taste your love completely.

 

 

I Thank My Lucky Star

 

Before the day of your arrival,

that very blessed day,

plans not known to anyone

were already under way.

 

Our lucky stars determined,

and they probably had a clue,

that it would take some extra time

     for me to find my way to you.

 

Now together on this journey,

in each other we’re depending,

our hearts and souls committed

to our true love that’s never ending.

 

 

Painting You With Words

 

You never seem to mind when

I splatter you with flattery,

or cover you in a kaleidoscope

of complimentary colors.

 

You’re the most pleasing palette,

perfectly posed without complaint,

commanding focus and concentration

with no concern for my constraint.

 

I love to trace your figure

with a deliberate artistic touch,

committing you to memory,

so well versed in every line.

 

Contemplating every contour,

carefully studying such splendid symmetry,

then composing heartfelt sentiments

in fanciful inventive imagery.

 

By any definition you’re beyond

most logic and description,

by design I live to paint you

with expressive imagination.

 

To portray your essential essence

requires no explicit shade or hue,

just colorful strokes of genius brushed

from my admiring point of view.
