Married Bliss

My attempt to express how I feel about the love of my life, my husband.

The smell of you
What does it do?
Of that I'm not for sure.

It fills me up
It makes me think
Of all the love we share.

The days are bright
You hold me tight
And say you'll never let me go.

Life has bumps
And it has bends
We're in it together to the end.

Hand in hand
And arm in arm
Facing it together without alarm.

I lead you
And you lead me
Together a whole life to see.

No one the boss
Just together we
Explore our life with serenity.

Each day a delight
Each day a surprise
We look for something new to find.

Each night we go
To bed and know
There's no where else to be.

Than in each other's
Open arms
Wrapped in serenity.

He wraps me up
With both his arms
And whipers "I love you".

I whisper back
"I love you, too"
Then I smile and dream of you.

I really like this poem. It was a great piece you wrote. It is so hard sometimes to express the way you feel about someone you love so much. I really enjoy reading your pieces. Thanks.

Good poem. I think that the last line in this poem, instead of

Then I smile and dream of you.

It would sound better and make more sense if it was

Then I smile and dream of him

But that's just what I think. Good poem, keep writing.

A very sweet poem. I am glad you have found happiness and serenity in your marriage. I read your profile and your depression as an adolescent, but it sounds like as an adult you have really come into your own. :)

Okay, to clarify, yes, I meant that I dream of my husband on the last line. And take it as you will, that's part of writing, just not exactly my intent... hehe :)

Well written, moving verse. I do have to agree with Blue Bard, your final line leaves for a little ambiguity. I assume you mean you'll dream of your husband, but one can find other interpretations. If that's unintentional, you may want to make it a little more clear. Damn cynics, we always see the hinky side of things.

Other than that, great poem!

It wasn't meant to be naughty, but I guess it could have been taken that way... lol

Is the ending subversive here? It seems to twist the whole poem. If I am misreading it, forgive, but if I read it right, it is a very naughty read. I like it.
