I await thee,
Here beneath the veils
Of crisp leaves weeping
Down to touch my face.

I have it still,
The rose of last we met
My love keeping fresh
The petals, blushing red

I look for you,
The butterflies bounce
My anticipation grows
Nigh to trembling, inside

I wonder if you,
Know the softness of heat
Within the pit of my breath
Beyond it, is where we rest

I hope that you,
Will never elude
The chance to explore
The offering of the tide

I need you still,
The scent of your hand
Pressed gently to my lips
And yet, the years melt away

I want you still,
Casting off to shining shores
No doubt, No craving less
I choose you, in stranded wake

I await thee,
I await thee still
Of rounded love been round
For no one can take
Your heartseat, My husband

Regina,
I like a woman who knows what she wants- and in the Love Department it look like you've got some very definite notions.
  A beautiful read,
       David

Every Day's a Blessing
And Gift-Wrapped from Above,
Share it with another
And Spread the Father's Love!!!

May You come to Know His Best Blessing

Dear David: You are wonderful for my spirit. Yes, (Blush) I still anticipate the return of my husband coming home. I do know what I want. Exceptionally well, thanks to God above. He has a way of making things very clear.  

Blue December: I love your name by the way, It reminds me of The first cold wind bringing in snow in our part of the world. (Days off from Work Yeahhhh!)Thank you for your kindness and comments.

This is the kind of (married love) everyone yearns for. How beautifully you've dipped your pen in the passion of your soul and wrote a winner.

Perfect imagery of true love.
Looking forward to more of your talent.

Beautifully written, a picture of loving devotion you have painted for us, thank you!

Do not fear going forward slowly,
Fear only standing still.
