If I had one-hundred lifetimes,
and I could live out each one,
then go on to the next, when one dies,
I would want to spend ONE lifetime of mine
doing my favorite thing under the sun:
let me spend one lifetime looking in your eyes!
ALL is lovely about you and your eyes:
as lovely as is possible, and as is dreamable!
You are the thrill that thrills ALL my senses!
Such "common" things: eyes; one winks, one cries.
But, Oh!, the gaiety they show! Ineffable!
And that gaze utterly controls--NO!--DESTROYS my defenses!
Those cool pools, where desire lives, and ne'er dies:
Oh!, Love's absolute refuge: a lifetime, looking in your eyes!
A very nice piece for your inspiration. I hope she likes it.
Good write, teddy.

Teddy, I think this is one of the most sensual poems I've ever read. I hope your wife appreciates you.
Your friend,
