Five Feet of Paradise

Feet of Paradise

One day when it feels right,
Tabitha’s going to be my wife.
I don’t have to think twice,
we love each other and
she’s just that damn nice,
my, Five Feet of Paradise.
My one and only vice.
The kids think we’re putting on a show
because we kiss and hold hands 
everywhere we go.
Tabitha is my life’s connection,
a walking public display of affection.
She is my affliction, my adopted addiction.
I am not looking for nor do I want a cure.
She's a healthy habit I don’t want to break.
I love this woman more
than a fat kid loves cake.
…
Make no mistake!
Our love runs deeper
than the water in all five
of the great lakes.
I love her like a King should love a Queen.
I kiss her good night
only to see her in my dreams.
Our Romance is like a never-ending love poem,
we're trying to find a house,
but Tabitha is my home.
And one day when it feels right,
Tabitha’s going to be my wife.
We don't argue fuss or fight,
because with Tabitha,
every night, is a good night.
We do what grown folks do
In the wee hours of the morning,
So every morning, is a Good Morning! 
My Queen wares her dignity and confidence
like a crown, she just happens to be  
the loveliest shade of brown.  
Her beauty and good nature go hand in hand.
And I, am very happy to be her man.
Wherever she goes 
is where I want to be.
Five feet of paradise,
Tabitha Brown, and me.

Love all of your poem, but most of all I loved this, I kiss her good night, only to see her in my dreams, many a man can claim to love only to cheat on them in their dreams. God bless Tabitha and, God bless you . . . : )

Good for you. My paradise is 5 foot 6. She was from Vancouver and I was from Ontario. We met in Mexico and in 3 days I knew she was my future. So I moved out west to be with her. She moved to Canada from Hong Kong when she was a little girl. Now I have immersed myself in two worlds.
