This is what I write upon my heart

for my husband, here's to another 10 years.

when I saw you
i knew that it was me
you came to find
by the smile that
was on your face

the pain in my heart
met the love in your eyes
and it melted away

when you whispered
the secrets of your soul
it was something
i had never known

every moment till the
world no longer turns,
could I repay you,
but I found a place to start

every day, every night
this is what I write
upon my heart

we both know we owe
love, we owe us
for the rest of our lives
i know I owe you me.

I like these lines the most. This is a beautiful love poem which tugs at the heart strings. Feelings like these are pure bliss, I think..
Well penned. I liked the title too. 😊

belongs to only you
i know I owe you me.

So tender and full of love....
Blessed are those who find their soul mates to share their life with..
Hope you are blessed with many more happy years with your loved ones.

You're very sweet, many thanks and wishing you a peaceful day.

Your words, even in my voice, read so beautifully - they caress thoughts of how love can be mentioned in any key, as long as sincere.

:)

'Ae, (yes) they must always be sincere. I appreciate your generosity. Good night from me my friend.

I liked this poem. Many good statements would make a good title. I liked the journey and the hopeful ending.
