Zeal
I’ll never tire
of hearing you say it—each
morning, knowing you’re mine

Yes
You had your answer
before you dropped to one knee,
flashed the ring, asked the question

Virgo
You’re so beautiful
in the moonlight—the stars and
constellations can’t compare

Unconditional
At night, while you sleep,
I count stars to measure my
love for you—I’m still counting

Rain
Come outside—in the
rain, the gusty wind—get your
hair wet, and I’ll quench your lips

Quench
Thirsty days without
your lips on mine—torrential
downpour, but my mouth is dry

Naked
Take off your clothes, I
want to know each part of you,
starting with your neck . . . lower

Married
First time making love
as man and wife—can’t help but
feel like a virgin again

Joy
Don’t ever stop. You
consume my waking thoughts—and
when I sleep, you are my dream

Imagine
Long day from work—you,
dozing off in my lap, me
massaging oil in your hair
