My Favorite Kind of Poetry

It has suddenly come to me
Loving you is poetry
Like a sonnet, sweet and low
Your tender words softly bestow
And wrap around my longing heart
The poetry that you impart
In every whisper, every sigh
Every flicker in your eye
In each heart-wrung melody
I hear perfect poetry
Darling, sit here next to me
As the moon-beams kiss the sea
Listen as I read to thee
