Toil of Love

Just daydreaming about the future, years from now when i might have someone this could be about.

Thoughts come to me unsummoned,

But never is the topic unwelcome.

Memories of your mirth, your smile,

The way you fit in my arms last night.

In each ray of light I'm mesmerized,

Stunned for a moment in the thoughts

Of how the sun caressed your face

As you slept in peace beside me.

That serene smile of yours is so sweet,

A treasure more valuable than ringing bells.

I can't, no, won't, take my mind away

From the joy brought forth from your own.

When work ends for me today

And I return home to you,

My real work will finally begin.

For the toil i most enjoy

Is earning the reward of your satisfaction.

Be it known to you for sure

That for two hours I'd slave away,

No complaints you'd hear from me,

If it meant I would have a smile

From you for just two seconds.

Now this one is a honest to goodness poem, the real love kind, not the "I'd sweep heaven" mushy stuff.
I enjoyed the blue collar approach it's unique and yet, deeper than that.
Lovely work, once again!~P
