In Love The nectar of a flower To say I love her each and every hour For her essence gives me the power To love and care for her. I’m in love I’m in love like a painter loves his brush Stroking gently across the canvas Creating visual masterpieces That redefine beauty at each corner Funny that our love mimics art In that few could truly understand. I’m in love I’m in love like a child loves sweets Indulging in her to the last piece Or drop, yet I never want the moment to stop When she cries, her tears become my candy rocks Cracking and popping on my tongue the very source of her pain I’m in love I’m in love with her very soul Climb onto the highest mountain And shout her name to the heavens so God’s blessings for her can be twofold. Her love to me is more precious than diamonds and gold. Yet irony sets in when we go through heated moments Or being cut down in situations...because at the end Our love becomes just as priceless. I’m in love Forever in love Her lease in my heart is eternity Living on burgundy street on the corner of Love and Affection. My courage is her protection, and I’m blessed to be that selection. No wonder my emotions flow through my expressions, Ever since she left the faucet on. I’m in love. And it’s a beautiful feeling. © Kerry B 2013.
