Depths

You held my tears in your hands
And lifted my sinking heart
From the depths of something
Still unknown.

You crawled with me
And shut the door behind
In the brambles of my
Unsettling.

You shared yourself
And made me believe
Despite the desperation
Of my fears.

My Days, Your Love

My days are full of things I used to do
Work, sleep, play, chores
The difference now: there's you

With your hand in mine I'm pretty sure
I could handle anything
I know what I'm meant for

Being with you has taught me much
How a heart can feel full
With a lover's soft touch

It's not easy, I expected it so
But being your wife is worth it
And my love for you continues to grow

Goodnight

I put my hand in yours
Side by side in
This bed we bought
Where we end each day together
And start fresh the next
You whisper sweetness
I sigh, content and close my eyes
This is my life

In the dark

In the dark
Your skin warms mine
A tear escapes
I'm not sad
Contentment makes me cry
Sometimes
And I suppose my body has run out of ways to say
'I am so very happy'
Because words just don't do it justice
