You glanced my way one day and stole my heart
Without intending to ignite a flame
You set my world ablaze right from the start
And since that day my life’s not been the same.

You fit me like a finely crafted glove
Italian leather’s supple quality
Provides to me warm comfort in a love
That holds me close yet sets my spirit free.

A life preserver you had been that day
In raging waters where I nearly drowned
You pulled me in and carried me away
And set these feet upon the shore’s firm ground.

Forever and a day we’ll sing love’s song
Within each other’s arms where we belong.

Denise

He'll be getting this as a combination wedding anniversary/Valentine's Day present. I'm sure he'll like it since he's a bit on the sentimental side! Thanks again for reading and commenting!

Denise, thank you for this beautiful and so inspiring poem! It reminded me just in time
to think about writing one myself as an
economy Valentine surprise for my dear
Frieda... Oh! She's been reading my computer
screen over my shoulder and now it won't be
a surprise any more. Guess I'll have to make
a trip to the florist as yet, now...

I really like this one. Sounds just like a love letter for any day you are in love. You have got a real special man there. I add my "sighs" to this as well.

How can you save me?

Thanks, Sharon, Temptress*Moon, Dopey_Dope, Shawna and Jeremy for reading and for your lovely replies! I haven't written a new one this year yet, so I guess I'll be dusting this one off and giving it to him again...hehehe

Denise, This poem is precious, I love it, and I'm sure your Valentine will love it just as well if not more.
