Romantic Couple painting by~Sekhar Roy

That first morning moment we awaken, and our eyes meet When the sun shines upon you, your face sparkles so sweet The way you play and say kind words to me when you toy When you whisper to me, you are my love, pride, and joy When we get cozy side by side, I tingle, in the solemn night That fuzzy warm feeling I get when your arms hold me tight When you sing of times we have shared, getting ready for bed When you recite Keats, Byron, and Poe off the top of your head When you ravish me and relish me with oodles of affection When we slurp noodles, we have the twin flame connection How you're kind to animals, excite them with your quirky voices You always get me; I dig it when you help with simple choices When I’m sad you make me laugh with your shameless jokes What pleasurable, delights, and suggestions your mind evokes When you pray for more kindness, less hate in the world When your cheeks blush, bold with your soul unfurled He has put a pair together, and I am one of them it’s clear You are a Godsend, you are a precious stone, and my dear Knowing I’m with you, you with me, always having you here I’ll never truly be alone in my heart, when you're away or near

Keats, Byron and Poe off the top of the head, eh?! Hmmm. I seem a bit out of my element here... But I can do Alfred E. Newman, Dr. Suess and the Cookie Monster by heart!! ~ gw

"A thing of beauty is a joy forever"..."If I laugh at any mortal thing 'tis that I may not weep"...I was a child and she was a child in the kingdom by the sea and we loved with a love that was more than a love, me and my Annabelle Lee."

Evelyn, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I thought the painting was just right, their expressions so callow and pure. Their innocence shines through them as their languid eyes meet! Hugs ~Anaya
