On Writing Poetry For My Love Poem by Toni Atchison

I craft my words of love
to be pleasing to your ear-
to delight your eye,
to touch your heart,
to bind you softly to me.
Has there ever been a love like this?
Epic and plain,
calm and strange,
one in a million-
one of a billion.
I think of you in candles and flowers,
I think of you in my bed-
I think of you constantly.
