Reason
…………………………………………………………………….

I stood in the silence…
You were unaware of my
Presence...
As I watched you tend
To your daily chores.

Sun’s light caught the softness
Of every curve and luscious
Line of your body…
Through sheerness of linen fabric…
So fortunate to lie upon
Your feminine grace.

For a moment…maybe two,
Your beauty disguised the
Elegance that rests deeper
Within the vault of your soul…
Where your most substantial
Beauty lies.

How is it that you so easily
Combine…heart and soul,
For the purpose of loving me ?
Even as you perform such
Trivial tasks…
Your every move drips with
Loving intent so  apparent
By the peacefulness
And happiness…that embraces
Your heavenly angel face.

I approached you…
My heart ready to burst from
Fullness of gratification with
Love felt and realized.

Your smile washed the tarnish
Of the day from my mind…
So tired…
Sending youthful energy
And vigor rushing through
My veins.

You’re strong …
But gentle Touch
Stripped the need
Of outside world defenses…
Dropping them to the floor,
As the sweetness of your
Welcoming kiss intoxicated
Me once again.

In less than a heartbeat…
I rediscovered the reason
For life.
