You Are My Comfort
A poem - who or what brings comfort?
Your bright blue eyes.
Your tanned dark skin.
Your wavy thick hair.
Your swelling heartbeat
glistens my being as
it glows like a Goddess
dressed in white flowing skirts.
You're my comfort,
my home.
Your aromatic radiance
lingers on like a scented candle
moving me
to tears when you kiss me.
Your soft wet desirable lips
taste of honey and
candy.
The sweetness uplifts me
when you're around.
A glimmering resplendence filters
the air as your body stands in front of me
and swishes and glows
with tenderness.
I need you always
by my side.
Your comfort brings
bliss, a succulence so deep,
parading through my skin
as it fills my heart
making it spill out,
thumping with loudness.
An erratic pull
when I slip
my fingers through
your brown rich hair.
Your hands warm and soft
not like a man's roughness.
Your body hot and tanned,
smiling so grand like no other
I've ever met.
You're the husband
I dreamed of
in my younger days.
You're like a God
sculptured as a statue.
Its smooth edges
glistening in the sun,
rippling in the blues
of the sky.
Wondrous to look at
as you stand in the light
of day.
You're my proudness
comforting my heart.
You're my home.
My husband
I am proud to say,
I worship you to this very day.
I light up when you're around.
Your gaze will always capture
mine, forever till the day I die.
You are my comfort,
my husband.
A love like feathers
falling from clouds
calling me to you.
You're my God,
my warmth,
my comfort,
forever.
