How to Love a Man

When you have found that special love
The one who trusts and honors you
The stars will be a witness of
One soul that sings the songs of two

If love has crept into your heart
And filled each breath with pangs of want
The love that you will now impart
Is from life’s ever flowing font

For you will know innate desires
Without a guide to see you through
The burning flesh of passion’s fires
Is but the pulse of life in you

Your arms become his sweet caress
Your sheets are now the midnight skies
Let moonlight bathe your nakedness
In pools of trust within his eyes

You are his rose, his velvet bloom
A flower within his tender keep
Sweet petals he cannot consume
From passion’s wells so full and deep

In adoration, love him well
No matter what the day or hour
For love has not a space to dwell
Nor does the fragrance of a flower

And when you feel his mind afar
In need of comfort from the day
To sooth his soul, recall there are
Three little words you need to say

Then lay, when words are sweetly said
A fragrant rose across his bed

Elizabeth! That is a great poem! I liked that. That truly is how to love a man...

The past is history and the future is a mystery, but today is a gift and that is why it is the present!

Elizabeth,
I'm having trouble breathing! This was a gorgeous telling of what love does to mere mortals and what has to be the best feeling in the world. Very well done. I shall kiss your hand as I bow to honor you.

Yes, the delightful course and flow of courtship should never ever end just because the vows are said and the ring is firmly on the hand...it should go on for the lifetime of the marriage...this I so believe!

Well done, Lady Santos!

Liz,

Thank you for this, my friend. It is truly breathtaking and I agree completely with the sentiment. Love is always and forever.

Liz,

I love reading your poems.  They flow so well, and tell so much.

DID ALL YOU CAT LOVERS OUT THERE READ THIS POEM???  NOT ONE NEED FOR A CAT IN ALL THIS!!!  NOT ONE!!!

oops - please forgive me, Liz, as that sort of slipped out.

I really like the way you closed this poem out so cleanly, and with such a beautiful, loving sentiment.  Liz, I've said it to other people in conversations regarding you, but I need to say it to your face, you are an absolutely wonderful person!
