ENCHANTING LOVE NOTE (FOR MY VAL)
In the twilight of our shared delight,
This enchanting note, my Val, takes flight.
Beneath the moon, our hearts entwine,
A serenade sweet, forever thine.
Your gaze, a sonnet in the night,
Each glance, a promise, pure and bright.
Your soft whispers flow like a gentle stream,
And our love, like a melody and an endless dream.
In the sanctuary of your tender embrace so warm,
I offer this enchanting love note, a comforting balm made warm.
With you, my Val, forever intertwined,
Every word echoes love, a melody so refined.
Our love, so sweet and true
Refined through stormy seas,
And stronger still,
Deep and unquenchable.
Our heartbeats make melodies
Speaking without words
In aphrodisiac symphony
Rhythms which only love comprehends.
Let’s go to Sugarland and live.
Only you and I.
In an everlasting happiness.
Holding our arms everyday.
Where our love shines.
No restrictions, no obstruction.
Enjoying our kiss and warming
Each other .
My half, my joy, my love tonic, it
Is Val, welcome to Sugarland.
I have longed to take a sip
Gulping this sweetness
Deep and deeper within –
My being, my heart.
This sweetness proclaimed
In loving you and loving me
A sweet tonic, oh,
How it intoxicates, mesmerizes.
Each time I look into your eyes,
I feel mesmerized and gaze at you aimlessly
The euphoria of your presence alone is overwhelming and enchanting
Your cheeks, as fresh as morning wine.
Your warm embrace is breathtaking,
Serving as source of solace and inspiration
Your bouncing and dancing skills
Are ever my comic relief.
Amid all that hovers around me
I gave you my focus
And you’ve been such an amazing Val,
My comforter, gist lover and shock absorber at the same time.
I cherish every moment we spend together
In fact,
Dear Val and honey pie,
You’re such a darling!
No wonder our hearts make choices,
We hardly plan
So enveloped in fantasy
Devouring each other’s lips endless nights,
Blind to the world if you like.
God bless the day my eyes rested on you,
On your bosom I found succour.
Your hug is like a missing gold,
Loving you is a pride no man can escape.
When the dawn arrives in its ululating hubris,
Stretching its hands warmly like the evening cool breeze
I’ll carve your face in the canvas etched in my heart verse,
So that when the night tries to take all of you away,
You my love won’t be left faded in a broken vase.
In each other’s heart lets live
Living in chaste and purity
And in unity like holy trinity
Exalt our valleys to joys’ beehive.
In each other’s heart let’s live
In friendly thoughts every night and day
Leaving no shared moment at bay
Into each other’s heart always love to give.
Daises are the beds we shall lay on
When our two hearts meet for fun
This friendship with an endless love flames
Keep us within bounds of dainty love games.
Heartily thanking the star adjudged little
That thought us how to twinkle
What this star is, is in our wonder
For each other in friendly spirit be fonder
Shun the laws, keep to the time and place
Our hands will hold, our hearts will embrace
And I whisper into your heart happy Val
And say my sweet Val always you’re a pal.
