My Promise to You

You are a little flower; I’ll never let you fade
When the sun burns you, I’ll give you shade
To face your life’s battles, I’ll be your blade,
In troubled waters, I’ll be your oar so you can wade.

Your life’s burden I shall help you bear
I’ll cover you and won’t let you wear
You are my love; I’ll look after you with care
Together we are an inseparable pair.

In winter I won’t let you freeze
In autumn I’ll shield you from the breeze
Summer’s dust won’t even make you sneeze
I’ll make Spring handle you gentler than cheese.

You and I shall always have the finest weather
Gentle breeze, gentler than the feather
At unkindest of the season’s we shall hang on together
Even after death we shall love each other.

I Love You

I love you because you know how to appreciate
I love you because you make my heart pulsate
I love you because my life you animate
I love you because you are my dream soul mate.

I love you for your tender affection
I love you for the courage at your affliction,
I love you because you are my inspiration
I love you for your aspirations.

I love you because you are so caring
I love you because your voice is so alluring
I love you because your touch is assuring
I love you because you are a complete darling.

I love you because babes like you if any are few
I love you because you quench my thirst better than any brew
I love you from deep within because you are true
Most of all, I love you because you are you.

My Love

Your smile makes the bird sing,
Your touch makes my heart ring,
Sometimes I wonder if you are an Angel without wings,
You be my Queen and I’ll be your loyal King.

You fill my senses with your presence,
You have become my life’s essence,
My sight, sound and touch hold you in eminence,
You are my smell and taste’s quintessence.

You have moved my soul and my heart,
Your love has made you my inseparable part,
You are the wheel if my life is a cart,
Without you, I am a pointless dart.

You flavour my life like spice,
You keep me cool under stress like ice,
Baby I need you as my life’s auspice,
As in wedlock, our lives we splice.

The Man I’ve Become

I was like a savage in my ramshackle den,
Eating like a pig from a manger in my pen,
You spotted me floating in a stagnant fen,
And chose me from the sea of a million men.

You were taken aback by my beastly manner,
Dazed by my funny faces during our first dinner,
Jolted by my clothes which resembled a banner,
I can still recall those eyes looking at me like a scanner.

Our relationship was of infallible allegiance,
But when my crudeness contrasted your elegance,
You realized for our bond it was a nuisance,
And for my improvement, you issued an ordinance.

Though I was stubborn and petulant,
With my every little refinement, you were jubilant,
For all your effort and edifying talent,
Today, I ponder if I’ve become your dream gallant.

I Want To

Walk hand in hand with you on a beach,
Sit under a tree and share a single peach.

Feel the wind on serene mountain tips,
Look into your eyes and never let the moment slip.

Watch you wear your white dress of lace,
Feel your silky hair brush across my face.

Hear your breathe as on my lap you slumber,
Spend nights of rapture in our warm cosy chamber.

Play in the rain and watch you drench wet,
Sit across the valley and view the sun set.

Hear me read a novel or a romantic book,
Sit on my lap and feed me the recipe you cook.

Camp for a night on the bank of a river,
Warm your body with mine, when at night you shiver.

When I have to dream or have to make a wish,
These are the things I don’t want to miss.
