Love Poem: My Home

My Home

I feel myself glowing when 
I am in a room with you.
My eyes follow you as you 
pour your third cup of coffee.

I've never known anyone who 
could consume as much
caffeine as you do 
without being wired. 
Maybe your six foot three 
stature absorbs it less.

The roses you bought me 
are beginning to wilt as I softly 
beg them to keep alive longer, 
kissing their petals that 
are as soft as your lips. 

When we are home alone together 
your sensuous smile warms me, 
your deep voice thrills me,
and your dark eyes undress me,
and I am lost in your love.
