See My Loving Gaze

See my Loving Gaze:

a love poem for my husband

Look me in the eyes

And see my deep care.

Know that I love you

So intensely

So immensely

Sometimes it’s scary.

Our love story

Is sweet to me.

I play it again

And again in my mind,

Relishing it.

It never grows dull

Or ceases to amaze me.

You don’t know this

But I listen to the song

Of our first dance

Remembering those steps

We took together,

In each others arms,

Circling the dance floor,

Lost in the pure happiness

Of the moment.

I have it on repeat

Every single day,

Starting my morning

With affection,

While you sleep,

In the home we have

Made as a couple.

I look back

To the tears you had

In your lovely eyes,

As you read the vows

I wrote for us.

Your love shone

And pierced right

Through my heart,

With each word.

I read those vows

Still sometimes

And inwardly

I refresh my commitment

To you,

My dear love.
