Let it be known to the world, I love you,
not just because of your sultry summer curves,
because you are human inside and out.

There is no one like you in the world
so filled with spring of the soul,
with such romantic fire in your heart.

You have made me realize you are worthwhile,
that your life is not just material,
but of the mind, heart and soul.

You've enabled me to feel the stars,
not just see their glistening light,
but to feel their warmth in my reality.

Such passion was never imagined
until I met you, knew you, breathed you in,
deep, deep into the autumn of my life.

As it turns colder you are my heat,
the days shorter, the nights longer,
your words will be my passion in my wintered existence.
