Here's my promised!

Recital

Ask me again to recite
Every poem I have written for you.
I would do anything for you.
I don’t oppose to loving you
Or showing that I love you.
Why would I?
You’ve given me everything.
All that I have ever dreamed.
I don’t know what I thought about
Before I went to sleep alone
So long ago.
But now it’s you,
It’s been that way since I met you.
The soft sound of your heart beat
And the breathing that gives you life
Replaces the sound of a voice that spoke of doubt.
No more sleeping alone for either of us.
As you hold me, you ask me to recite “Wrapped in Passion”
Once more before you drift off to sleep.
“Until your last breath…”
I whisper in your ear, so close there’s almost condensation.
“The last sparkle in your eye…”
Holding me tighter, kissing my neck,
Lips on skin, I continue.
“The last laugh, the last smile…”
I can feel you mouthing the words
That I say to you. You know them.
This isn’t my first reciting.
Aloud, you say with me your favorite part:
“I’ll never stop loving you.”
Though only at the fifth line,
You stop.
We stop.
One hand holding my hand and the other outlining my face.
“Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes,” you say again.
“You know they drive me crazy.”
And you know there’s nothing I can do about them.
And I love them too.
Your lips have their ways of driving me crazy,
Perfectly matching mine in the most intimate way.
The most seductive of anyone.
As long as I don’t have to share them,
I won’t refuse their love and sincerity.
It’s another trait of yours that can’t be replicated.
“You are the one I need to live,
To breathe each breath,
And to wake each morning…”
You whisper on my skin as you hold me closer.
Pulling my body into yours, my eyes are admired
By yours once again.
Your recital begins with your musical version
Of the poem I wrote you.
“In paradise, where I’m waking in with you,
Next to you, wrapped within you…”
Once again, I give in.
I melt into your hold
As you sing out of tune.
But the inability to carry a note is the extent
Of your faults.
Just remember,
You are the melody to my words,
And without you, my song remains incomplete.

lovly poetry, and a love that is truely uncondition, as a persons faults also make up who they are, and loving them for not just the nice side of them, but for every part of their being, is something very treasured.

I liked this a lot. Thank you for sharing.

Lynn, this is a beautiful love poem. And this ending.....

Just remember,
You are the melody to my words,
And without you, my song remains incomplete.
