Happy 48th Anniversary

The smell of your perfume, sweetens the evening air. The sparkle of your eyes, lay my emotions bare. A hint of your laughter, makes my heart skip a beat. A kiss from your soft lips, fills me with burning heat. A slight touch of your skin, will burn me like a fire. A whispered “I love you,” will ignite my desire. Like seconds on a clock, forty-eight years have flown. Throughout all those years, our love has only grown. I’ve no poet’s words, to say what it’s meant. To know such happiness, has to be heaven sent.

Great poetry, Jerry. Good rhyme which I find difficult since English is not my language. Thus I tend to go for free verse. Your wife must be happy to read your poem. Mine alas is dead.
