I am writing this poem to my husband ...
I met you at the art gallery
and will never forget that day
my eyes grazed over you
and I was left breathless
so handsome, though
I thought you needed a shave
then, realized it was a look
you could be a model
vary tall, you looked to be fit, sinewy
your dark hair touched the collar
of your worn jean jacket in a romantic way
and fell over one side of your face
your jeans were fashionably faded
the backpack had seen better days
you looked like a struggling artist
looking down at me you smiled
and I was swept away in the ocean
of your blue eyes
and I was lost
I like your hair you said in a deep
French accented voice
I love the color
blushing I said thank you
you look very pretty today
I looked down at my whimsical flowered dress
we walked together looking at the art
then, you stood in front of me
can I be so bold as to ask you
to come for a coffee
and I could not resist
we sat in the cafeteria talking for hours
about all sorts of things
and that was the beginning
we were from the start spiritually connected
as we both liked the same things
like art, nature, poetry and writing, cooking
and what was happening in the world
we walked endless forests and meadows
sat by streams talking
then, one day while watching ducks
on a park bench
you leaned over and kissed me
and I could not hold back my aching
I kissed you back with trembling passion
back home we took an unchained
intoxicating journey of abandon
it was a dance of love that left us both aglow
that is when I knew, for sure that
I loved you
days turned into months and months
and each time I saw you
it was like the first time at the art gallery
I was your love captive
you had my heart and soul
so, when you asked me to marry you
it was ethereal
like a dream
and of course, I said yes, yes
you wrap me in your love each day
you are my one true love
forever, and evermore
and this poem is for you, love
