Your Letters

If I could bottle the warmth in your letters I could be a millionaire.

Never has woman been so blessed as to read words penned with such care.

You say you love my poetry and it gives your heart a glow.

But I say each letter you write to me is poetic genius.  I should know.

If I live to be a hundred, I will always keep them near,

These perfect missives that you write and I hold to be most dear.

My Love, if ever womankind was wooed in a more romantic way,

The judge had simply never seen the note you scrawled to me today.

Had I never met you and just measured the man you seem to be

In the letters that you write, I could not help but see,

The strength and independence, the wit and humor flitting there.

I'd be obliged to love you still when I read how much you care.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

If we ever have an argument that lingers, I'll just read your love letters and burn my fingers.....

Jessica,
This must surely be one of the most beautiful poems you wrote. It grabbed at my heart and started wringing. I do hope that this is about an old love and that the hurt has subsided a little.
