To the Love of My Life

Let me sharpen this pencil
I am about to pour out my heart
Let me compose myself
I am about to let the cat out of the bag
Sweet are these words that are never to be repeated

I might be a very difficult woman to love
But the love you will receive would be endless
I might be a very sexy woman in your eyes
But I got flaws that makes me who I am
I might be a strong woman in your eyes
But the softness of my voice tells it all
I might be a soldier of humanity
But it is just a mask of the love that's bottled inside
I might have a great body in your eyes
But it is just a vessel of my ancestors

Let me wipe these tears
My future has arrived
Let me lick my warm lips
I am about to kiss him
As I said before, never to be repeated

It is a poem to my soul mate, the man I would love for ever and grow old together.

I love the dichotomy you use in your lines. The contrasts make the poem beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
