(Valentine For My Wife, Lynne.)

 

What I like most about you…

Well, “curves” are definitely in there…

The ones of your body leaning toward me,

The others of your lips pressed to mine,

The best of your smile when we meet,

The shadows of your knitted brow showing you care.

I believe my favorite “curves”are

Those that always bring you back to me.

 

What I like most about you…

The “angles” definitely appeal to me…

Those you play (without my suspecting)

To make me do the right thing for me,

To let you do what you need to do,

To make me want it. too.

“Angles” are not as soft as “curves.”

They provide the lasting base.

 

What I like most about you…

The “lines”, yes, the “lines” should be included…

The ones we have used with each other,

The others of a graceful elegant pedigree,

Those of the beautiful, sensuous woman

 Who shares my life.

The gentle ones that bind us through all,

And the ones that we constantly test and find secure.

 

No! What I like most about you is your Lynne-liness:

All women in one unique woman,

The one who loves me, the one I love.
