EVERYTHING

I don’t know

how you do it;

entering a crowded room

and somehow

all I see is you…

You let me

close my eyes

and listen

to the sound

of your gentle voice

as you read

our favorite books

aloud in bed…

Dancing in the kitchen

when there’s

no music

but the shuffling

of your feet…

How you sway

and wiggle

and smile over at me…

Oh your laugh,

your touch,

that freckle…

How the sun

plays in your hair…

And when

someone’s in need

you’re there

lending a hand

with a heart so good;

so beautiful…

Standing up

to people

twice your size

when you need to…

Letting me lick

the chocolate

from your lips

when there’s

only one piece…

You lace your

fingers in mine

when we walk;

warm, long fingers

holding tight,

and brush your head

up against my arm…

Your heart smiles

at rainbows,

and toads,

and good friends…

Those funny words

you say

when you

stub your toe,

and the look

on your face…

When I reach

for my handkerchief

at work

and find

your black panties

in my pocket…

You whisper,

and I lose

all train of thought,

or laugh at

my silly jokes…

I don’t know

how you do it,

how you make

the world melt away…

I’m not sure,

all I know is

I love everything about you…

What a beautiful piece of writing ... it's a poem with the gentlest, truest passion. I can almost feel myself there with you and your lucky lady, and, the picture illustrates your post wonderfully well.

There are so many memorable lines: 'Your heart smiles / at rainbows, / and toads, / and good friends�' = smiling at that... then: ' Those funny words / you say / when you / stub your toe, / and the look / on your face�' .. .. this reader thinks her ways, even to bare feet (as per pic') and your love, go wonderfully well together.

Thank you for sharing this almost intimate post .. going to rate it perfect. ( Well, just discovered I can't but, that doesn't stop me from stating that it is! )

This was beautifully romantic in a modern way, your words captured the feel of the emotions and sensations of love flawlessly. The love you share with your lady seems to be flourishing in a lively way. I wish you many many years of happiness my friend, and mad props on another masterfully done romantic poem! I apologize about the tardiness of my review.

I really like how personal this poem is. I also like how you mention the things that she does that are not traditionally considered all that endearing... such as cursing when stubbing a toe. I also enjoyed how these little oddities are funny while adorable. It was very creative how while you were writing about a very typical subject and exlplaining the things you love about her, also a typical subject, you were able to make it unique by adding the personal things that writers tend not to mention (underwear). I was very happy to read an atypical love poem! Great work!

A perfect ode to the one you love. The way you pass through every small detail about her, draw us ito her like you must feel is nothing short of amazing. Wonderful write, yet agian. You big romantic you.

'"Snapshots Of My Soul"
Any man who says he loves a woman, and is not, a dozen times a day, swept into these delicious reveries of the sweet, mad, lascivious, tender things she does is lying to her, and to himself.
THIS man, whether actual or inspired, is not lying! He is 100% over the moon, and she knows it!
Lucky them!
Beautiful work, as ever, my friend...

Spectacular! Stringing together small moments in time that made you inexplicably happy until it's a complete strand of the picture of love you have for this special someone. Gorgeous write, amazing imagery, too many aww-inspiring moments to count! You never cease to amaze :]

You are a word hoarder. You keep them tightly bound within, until you are ready to write for the deepest depth of your soul. The wording flows so richly that it becomes liquid and if you tip the paper upon which they are written, each one would glide off the page, departing to the secret realm where they dwell until you call upon them once again. You gave a complete story of a man's desire and a woman's playful passion for the one she loves. You have truly mastered the art of writing from the heart, for a loving heart is a happy one.
