It’s true that
We go together
Like grilled cheese
And tomato soup
Find comfort together
Like puppies sleeping
Fit together like
Letter and envelope
As different as
Winter and summer
Yet revolve around
Each other like
Sun and moon
Sharing the sky
Shining when the
Other is asleep
Subtle as winks
Grand as laughter
So we kissed
The heavens opened
Revealing a new
Universe just on
The other side
Of now a
Place only accessed
In our minds
As eyes closed
And mouths opened
And fingers explored
As the hands
Of God himself
Pressed us together
And Angel sighs
Escaped our lips
Setting dew upon
The morning flowers
And then came
The beautiful act
Of sharing starting
With sips of
Silly whipped cream
Concoctions on to
Nibbles from plates
Next affectionate slaps
On backs after
Silly jokes right
Down to Arianna
Now playing on
My radio after
We used the
After shower towel
Sharing with you
Draws us closer
Like invisible strings
The root of
Lover is love
Love that’s expressed
In the eyes
Mirror that’s heard
In the voices
Laughter and felt
In the arms
Embrace love is
The verb while
Lover the noun
But in my
Case you are
Proper spelled Lover
You’re my capital
L
For me laughter
Is the precursor
To a kiss
Like paper and
Ribbon is the
Lure to the
Surprise inside keep
Making me laugh
And I will
Rain upon you
As many kisses
As jokes that
You can tell
