Notes About The Poem

I breathe out; and inhaled your manly scent,
Your sensual  touch takes my breath away. 
In your loving embrace is time well spent,
Your lips brushed mine, a soft sigh had its say.

I heard you murmur, “ l love you, sweetheart. “
I whisper, “ ditto, in a breathy utter.
You kissed me; I gasp; next you hugged my heart
That moment my heart began to flutter.

Love had arrested me; I didn’t resist, 
Willingly went without any restraints.
You convinced me that true love does exist,
I'm serving a life sentence; no complaints. 

You are my friend, my lover, and my life,
It's a joy and honor being your wife.
