Love

A lazy Sunday morning

With you by my side

Snuggled in your arms

The wonder of our love

Pulsing in every part

Of me



Sweet emotions linger

Long after passionate kisses

Shared in the dark

The heat of your body

Warming my delicate

Tender soul



You breathe against my hair

An innocent caress

While you hold me and sleep

Stirring depths of love

In my fragile heart

I've never known with another



We were born to be one

Heart and soul, mind and body

Time held spellbound

Under the sun and moon

Cannot quench our thirst

For each other

Author's Notes/Comments: 

For David W. the most amazing man I've ever known and the love of my life.

May God guide, protect, and keep him in the palm of His hand while he serves our country.
