"to My Sweet Thing"

Thou that holds a special beauty my lady, love of my life
Thou art special pearl, my girl, not a lady of carnal world,
Love, my life, my pearl of great price! You I shall not sacrifice!
You light up as wife, candle of life, set lonely heart a twirl…

Come unto me my beauty sweet, lay thy breast upon my chest,
Romance as love ‘s song,  though time has worn on, our love remains strong,
Given divine chance by first kiss, sweet romance, I reminisce,
Sweetness drops of your honeycomb lips, causes love’s bliss, prolong

Our chance of romance in the spring, not a common carnal thing,
Sweetness doth confess that our love was bliss from early first kiss,
That Love's graceful pursue, as sock and shoe, was not fleshly fling,
Let us feather together the quest, giving two hearts to bliss…

Two lovers twain in marriage, by depth of a true love’s courage,
Prenuptial start, my sweetheart!, a precept sustaining marriage!

For: Sentimental Love Letters

My dear John, Thank you for supporting my contest. I'm sure that her heart was aglow when she read this beauty from her dear husband! From the depth of your heart these words came flowing from within. Totally enjoyed and praise God that Marriages such as yours still do exist. Love, Audrey

Very sweet and romantic... does your wife love for you to write sweet nothings to her or is she bored with your writes. I think my husband gets tired with me asking him to read stuff I wrote at times. He makes me cards alot and He does the art work and he is great.

A very poignant post, John. There seems to be a rash of "lost love" poems, or is it that I'm just noticing? See new-to-the-Soup poet Rick Rucker and his "An End to Love?"
