I do not often speak of love
of candle light and snow white doves.
I do not speak of harps and hearts
or Cupid with his golden bow.
But what I do know is that he
my love who nightly shares my bed
and calls my name out in his sleep,
without a trace of shadowed doubt
his love is true and he loves me.
This is a nice little cut of succinctity, Chris, aptly articulated and carrying a strong sentiment.
I might be interjecting a little with my own image here, but some say that love is like a mirror - held up to our partners so that we might better see ourselves (or, at the very least, the parts of ourselves reflected by them that we enjoy looking at). In other ways, the mirror captures those parts of ourselves that'd seem to've been missing - the other halves, and cornered jigsaws that they've, by some small miracle, somehow found the means to fit.
I prefer the latter, in that analogy, and it's funny that we often come to such realizations after spending the night beside somebody.
Very nice piece of writing, again, and thank you kindly for sharing.

I can’t believe I wrote this a whole five years ago. Have a very happy super special weekend. Mother’s Day tomorrow. Make sure you treat your girls.
Like this a lot Chris with its shades of Classic Love Poems - particularly the line 'without a trace of shadowed doubt'.

Many times men don’t say I love you with poetry and romance but rather with actions in how they take care of you and that is what truly matters in the end

You never feel more alive and free when you are loved by someone. I love the vulnerability of this peace.
