Bliss

Like fine wine you are,

Better with age.

Like the first rays of the sun on my back

Filling me with warmth and promise of good things.

Like sweet honey on my lips,

I only yearn for you more.

You wrap me in your embrace

Oh, I feel inexplicable joy!

There is depth in your affection

Zeal in your quest for perfection

Infusing a fragrance so memorable,

With just one look…

Privy to my innermost desires

An unfathomable entity

Words fail me as I open my mouth

You’re one, whom I least deserve.

Yet you lay the world at my feet

Nudging me to take and make the best of life

Spoiling me…

But I will choose you

Over and over again.

I will choose you

Give you care and pleasure

Hope and satisfaction

Home and rejuvenation

A bosom for you to rest,

A wildness when you need one.

To be a balm in your pain

And be your rock on shaky ground…

You smile, because you give me all these

Unasked, without promise.

So I hope to do the same, and more

These are not words,

These are pieces of myself

Assembled for your delight

To give you what you have given me always,

Bliss.
