Poem for My Sweetheart

Words do not do justice to how I feel about you now,
Over the years, you have become my anchor, my rock;
I set my eyes upon you, your gaze quenches my soul,
I feel hollowness within me fill up, I feel whole.
Sureness in the depths of your voice unfailingly says I'm wanted;
You reach within through my jaded crust,
No longer am I daunted.
Rejuvenated to take on the world anew,
The scent of your soft skin lingers;
I come to appreciate being alive again,
Through the touch of your chiseled fingers.
