Pepper & Spice

The smell of your skin,

Pepper and spice,

Still graces mine-

Lingering from when we embraced,

Goodbyes exchanged with such love,

A bond fierce and strong.

As the mornings grow colder,

Our love for one another remains warm,

Growing bold in flavor,

As we discover the intricacies of it.

My body and eyes tired,

My heart full and ready for our next adventure,

Just days away. 

I swear my love grows deeper, with each breath I take,

I love the way you love me,

The gaze from across the room full of people,

The early mornings where our bodies wrapped in a sunrise haze, make the most beautiful, passionate love

The way you pull me close in public,

As if you are showing the world I am yours. 

The passionate kisses that make the world melt,

And the way you tell me you love me,

A million times a day-

You are my soul,

My heart,

My person-

My beautiful woman,

A love like ours is rare,

Even once in a lifetime-

So, I cherish it,

I let it hang in the air around me,

Day in and day out-

Soaking it up,

Quenching my thirst for you

You can drown me in your love any day.
