Poem: Love Note

Dear Love,

It’s no mere cliché,
what people say
that being a man
is no easy slide.
But though,
having a beautiful woman
to love and cherish
alone wont make it a jolly ride.
yet the effect of you
looking up to
and cheering at me
adds adventure
to each and every stride.

My hopes in our romance
affect my mind
like a soothing balm
and tender massages-
sweet soft caresses
to an aching psyche.

I pray for the time to come quickly
when you’d fall asleep in my arms each night
and I’d wake in your bosom every morning
with love sworn between us
and before our most benevolent Creator.
