Everything

All that I want from you is... everything

From first sleepy smile and morning caress

And every stolen moment a day can bring

Down to the hour when, tired, we undress

And fall to the pillows ALMOST too spent

To make love with slow, quiet tenderness

 

Everything... is all that I want from you

Your dreams and hopes whispered low

Amidst the fears and sorrows, too

Those thoughts you gaurd deep in your soul

Further development of the bond we share

While making love, so quiet and slow

 

From you... everything is all that I want

The minutes spent listening to rain fall

With echoes and mumbles that softly haunt

While I hold you close and hear its call

Your trembling heart that only I can move

And not only by making love- not at all

 

I want from you all that is... everything

Your quirks and flaws that make me smile

The daily blessings you always bring

Gift- wrapped  within your mirth and wile

For while we can't always be making love

It is love we have been making all the while

This is what love is made of...all of the little things that only lovers see in each other's eyes....Things that others are too rushed or unemotional to notice...I love this!!!!!
Thank you so much for such a delightfully romantic entry

You have a talent for cladding up your poems in softness and tenderness. This is wonderful!!!
