Thoughts of you sleeping linger through my day,
I ached to leave to go to work away from you,
Comfort only by you’re going to stay.

Stay the night or at least day or two,
You promised to cook for me a dinner some night,
Not something that you often get to do.

My day was too long reaching to twilight,
To come through the door to your warm and sweet greeting
Filling my soul with that special delight.

A dinner that waited there for eating,
Chinese and candles with soft music for a mood,
Romance for the heart love strongly beating.

I had seen the boxes that had brought us the food,
But silently softly I just through them away.

Bill

Cooking is really quite simple, but more important is the sharing of the meal, not the preparing of the meal.

Kay,
There aren’t enough soft romantic moments in life, I try to take them where I can.

Noah,
Keep dreaming, my friend, I’m sure one as sweet and giving as you will find it, and then hold on, but not too tight

*giggling wickedly* they say that to share a kitchen is one of the most romantic things we can do....I love to cook...there is such pleasure in pleasing the senses of the one you love. This poem is intimate and I love it. Carry on....your words are wonderful to read and I am sure she loves them too. **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
