A kiss on my lips, just a touch
A warm smile from you
when I come into the room
it means so much
the deep, silken quality of your voice
intensified by your passion for me

The joy of knowing I know you
the thrill of making love with you
times spent by sparkling pools
with your head in my lap
stroking your sun-warmed skin
quiets my inner storms 

Remembering past days of young anticipations
and long ago nights of intense lovemaking
settling into the comfort of your embrace

I cannot count the many ways
or the many times through these years
you have blessed me with
love's heartfelt souvenirs
