Ah - Men...

A For Effort

Early morning sunlight floods the cottage

As the feather comforter lulls me back to sleep

the man I love stirs beside me

My eyes open to see he is up on one elbow

Inches from mine - alert blue eyes

reflect tenderness and desire

“I love you” he whispers, leaning down to kiss me

After a long pause, he murmurs

“A LOT!”

I burst out laughing, breaking the mood

This love of mine is many things

a romantic wordsmith is not one of them
