He Said

Zanzibar, painting by Ronnie Biccard, used with her express permission

Our precious love keeps growing

in this treasured, sheltered place.

I close my eyes and instantly

you’re in my strong embrace.

Your gleaming eyes constrain me,

delighting in every focused fond attention.

I’m convinced you are omnipotent and

that you trust my heart’s intention.

Your smile, forever radiant,

energizes our close connection.

Ever hopeful, it persuades us to

express our most excellent affection!

My lips seek out your fragrant neck

as I slowly kiss you tenderly.

And of course, I can assure you,

you are not in any jeopardy!

A note from Chris

This is part of a duet poem and very soon we shall hear from the other half – “She Said” ! Also, I am very grateful to my guest artist, Ronnie Biccard, for her permission to use her painting “Zanzibar” along with my original poem for this post. Ronnie just recently moved to Cheltenham, England from her native South Africa. You can learn more about Ronnie and her art on her blogsite and gallery! Also see her Flickr Stream here!
