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! )

so lovely, such a love poem, a man filled with love so much love your high is beyond and greater then
any measurement! I love the way you write, you do it with such taste. If only my man would write something even half of what you wrote about me.. this was beautiful...

You know this has the same warm romantic feel of one of the best love songs every "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All"... it has the same unconditional faith and feeling in it. Perfection.

I found this so beautiful and moving, every woman wants someone to think this about her. I felt so happy for the special person you wrote this for...by reading this I walked for a moment in her shoes...
Wonderfully done! So glad you shared it with the rest of us!

What a wonderful tribute to that person you love and admire so much! Beautiful and free-flowing.. loved the feelings of emotion you contain and share in this. The world melting away and pondering how they do this to you. The so many things that inspire you that they bring into your life.. this is truly great! A poem fit for a wedding day.. to be read and upheld for everyone to hear.. or just a private message to be shared in those most intimate moments.. either way .. this one would melt any woman's soul! Thank you so much for sharing.. =)
