Love Poem: Shelter

Written by: Jeff Eaton

Shelter

I like your name 
It’s pleasing to say 
A passion aflame 
Concealed by your way 

Incredibly tranquil
You sit very still
Makes me feel peaceful
Gives me a thrill

You turn your head slowly
And take it all in
My reluctant fancy
Of what lies within

Dark circles below
Deep ocean above
My desire to know
Your reception of love

Twinkle at twilight 
Post heat of the day 
A whisper of I might 
Your tantalizing sway

Little black dress
Clings to your skin
Sweat and caress
Before we begin

Inferno inside me 
The love of my life
To shelter I flee
Rush home to my wife
