How Do I Love Thee

Oh my darling, such poetry you write, Your words whisper to my heart. My love, let us take flight into the night, For how can I be without my counterpart? We embrace upon soft pillar of cloud, Your eyes sparkle with each twinkle of star. The silence can often seem so loud, Magical when together, but that is the way we are! Hands caressing, feeding each others desperate desire, To own and satisfy each others temple. You are fuel to my passionate fire, And to be away from you is never that simple! So with a heavy heart, I write and answer your sonnet, And my thirst quenched by your poetry. As I toast to our "love", and sip my tonic, I think of your words, "how I love thee"......... 2/20/2016 Contest entry... How Do I Love Thee
