Total Ahhh

Chamois soft and diamond strong kitten cute and tigress tough. Childlike as a robin's song and yet complex, strangely enough. With you gone I always get antsy, out of sorts and not-so-jingly. With you here I feel romancey, dancy, spry, and neck-hair-tingly. The prize of your eyes a daily surprise into their liquid grace I'm gazing. You truly make our love lovely and life's twisting maze amazing. Like the fresh air a cool spring rain gave, like a soak in a tension-soothing spa, like spray from a warm Caribbean wave you leave me in total ahhh. // Celebrating Janet, my best friend and bride of 39 years //
