I love your smile.
And I love the added sparkle in your eyes when I am the reason for it.

The Sky in Your Eyes

If I could no longer paint the sky,
if it was only white and gray,
I would paint the colors in your eyes,
their twinkle when you smile at me.
For not even the heavens can compare
to the multiple colors of love I see
sparkling sunshine romantically
dancing on highlights debonair.

Everything I Need

You have everything
I could possibly need
in your pants
pockets, full of
gadgets and tools,
pens, pencils, keys
to all the places
I might need to go.
You are always prepared.
Am I calling
your pockets fat?
No. I’m saying
I like what’s
in your pants.

My Mettle

You give me confidence
to conquer the world.
You are my muse,
my mettle,
the mode
of my variable X.
I can go anywhere (with you),
and do anything (you want).
You make me feel safe.

Just because I am not pestering you
doesn’t mean I don’t need you desperately.
And I’m not going to tell you that
I think about you all the time, that
you are the ghost in my mind that
I talk to all day long.

Deep-burning,Unquenchable Love

Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable.– Henry Ward Beecher
