To Tieg, My Love

What does love mean? I asked one long day,
Caught off guard, words slipped. They shied away.
In a moment, I pondered, my heart felt the rush,
And all that I could manage was, “What’s with the hush.” 

Love’s not a flutter or actions we share,
It’s the essence of warmth, a breath of fresh air.
The world’s harsh enemies and actions make embarrassment creep near,
My gentle embrace with you is what I hold dear.

With you I’ve found trust and comfort, true.
Dedication to one another is not misconstrued.
When seeking to define love, words come undone,
For love is you, my dear, under the moon and the sun.

You embody the feeling that’s bigger than time,
An intense deep affection, so pure and so prime.
You are love itself in a world that can shatter,
Heartfelt and whole in this infinite matter.
So here is my answer in the light’s gentle glow.
Love is you my Tieg, forever I know.
