A touch of skin, the smell of shampoo\u2019d hair –
\nTeeth and toes, nails, soft backs even shadows –
\nThe laughter in bed,
\nJust being there –
\nThe big rows, little fights, tears and smiles
\nDesolate parting \u2013
\nEndless longing –
\nEvery breathing second thinking of him –
\nThe passion blind \u2013
\nThe passion strong –
\nDozens of kisses caught between dreams –
\nAlways right \u2013
\nNever wrong –
\nHeaven for the young –
\nA glow of youth for age,
\nLetters, gifts, poems, songs –
\nMusic, wine and dance –
\nNever too late or too soon –
\nAlways adored like spring sunshine –
\nAnd a long stemmed-rose in a sweet girl\u2019s room –
\nThe broken-heart dying in a diamond cage –
\nAs memories throb –
\nOne emotion shared by rich and poor –
\nLovers cuff-links –
\nHis words –
\nThe loving of another –
\nGiving of yourself –
\nThe soul\u2019s jacket amid yellow roses –
\nA now and always of perfect wealth<\/p>\n
