my love!
my light!
sing praises
to one
so beautiful!
kneel gently
at one's feet!
bestow faerie kisses
upon one's toes!

my husband!
my life!
utter soft admonitions
of love
into one's precious ears!
kiss the eyelids!
nuzzle the nose!

my knight!
my king!
gracious hand holding~
lovely skipping~
tiptoeing amongst roses!
to hear one's heartbeat!

oh to love!
oh to kiss!
oh to embrace!
oh to absorb your light!
thank you, my love!
