Love is addictive


What is the language of love?
As I stroke my wifes soft skin
Sunlight shines on her brown arms
I breathe her scent in the air

Don't want to leave her presence
But go when she murmurs "Tea?"
She a gem amongst women
Worth her weight in gold, that's fair

Remember when we first met
When attending friends wedding
Thought when photographed up close
Fine bones and beautiful hair

I remember she told me 
She asked others who I was
As did I ask the poor groom
'Ere  long we too were a pair

  1. Weddings do seem to inspire other weddings. A lovely way to meet. I especially love her murmured "Tea?"

  4. Tea is definitely my love language. I practically purred at my husband when he told me he made sure to pick up a little cream for my extra strong Sunday brew.

  11. I completely agree with the title. There is something about love (and weddings)... totally addictive (and contagious).

  12. Weddings are happy and romantic times. Tea is a real icebreaker.

  14. This really describes what many would consider an unremarkable event (waking up with a spouse) with such beauty. And even after (what I imagine to be) aong marriage, the "simple things" are portrayed with such care. This is a description of true love.
