To the man,

who calls me his beloved.

His heart beats faster,

near me.

I can hear it’s cadence,

in viviace tempo

my ear resting;

on his chest.

My face turns beet red

With a flash of his charming smile

“Blush”

We are two strands,

spun together

And carded

We may stretch

Tangle or knot

Even when our patience wears thin

We do not break

When we want the argument to end

We do not fray

I hold him closer

Understanding,

he is afraid to lose me

Let jealousy visit,

But, do not allow it

to stay

Our love blossoms

Like red-orange strands of saffron

Calming and warm

as tea

Her sense of humor spicy like ginger

His words sweet like a spoon

dipped in honey.

His tongue sticks to the roof of

her parted lips

Stirred together

In mid fall

They do not falter

The two do not pass blame on another

But admit their faults

The pair

Is destined for one another

His soul

Her mate

Our love blossoms like a

safflower thistle

Each petal a moment treasured

The two did not chicken out,

But face their fears

truest form of love is served in their

hearts.

Their secret, to lasting love

Spoken between one’s teeth.
