Breathing In Shivers

Ive no need to laugh
if your unseen
and even to breathe
would be obscene


The smell of you
taints my nights
and touching skin
my pure delight


Exquisite this love
shivers my ground
nothing could ever  
resemble your sound


Rumbling laughs
vibrate to heart
trembling moments
I hoard for my part


Even in anger
a control is seen
never could you
be hurtful or mean


Sharpened diamonds
cut like glass
soft as petals
eyes drift past


Crystal the memories
you’ve gifted me
freedom of life
soul running free


Conjuring hopes
deliverer of dreams
you are the man
of fairytale realms


A strength of titans
defended the weak
honoured by many
your company they seek


Admired in whispers
shouted from love
you are the man
I always dreamed of

Oh Jayne, This one is going to my favorites. You have been blessed. Some people jump to hastily into love and miss finding their true love. I am so glad that you have found yours. God be with you. Lovingly, Dane
