On This Night

Quietly, as evenings before
I climb the stairs
I wish not to awaken you
from you peaceful slumber.
How I missed you tonight
longing for your embrace.
You there at home
me here at work
watching the clock,
its hands move slowly
the way I wish yours
were upon my skin.

As I return to you
I enter your dreams
with a gentle kiss
whispering I Love You.
Snuggling up to your body
inhaling your scent
comfort settles in my soul.
My heart again rejoices
knowing this is the place
I belong for eternity.
The place I return to
the place I call home.

On this night,
as the ones before
and the ones to come,
I find myself falling.
Falling in love with you
all over again,
On this night

--------------
You got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
and show the world all the love in your heart
Then people are gonna treat

I sure have missed your smiling face on these pages. It's nice to read a "pure love" poem, and good to see you posting.

this is just lovely.   How wonderful to curl up with someone we love.   enjoyed!

Your storm of assumption feeds anger I am calm enough to hold inside. Don't pretend to know me if you've never put stretched out your heart with since
