Red and manly cheeks
make me so vulnerable,
I tease and further tease
seeing him in red-blushes
from ear to ear,
love-soaked love
I get in response
when I go naughty
and I hear loving words
flowing into my ears,
dissolving me all
in his embrace,
He plucks an unripen fruit
climbing atop a tree
risking his life for me
waiting for an appreciation
for all the hard work he has done.
A twinkle in his eye
just like a small school boy
always waiting for my nod
as his world revolves around me
making me feel so proud.
When he is questioned
for the grocery, I asked to bring
he sheepishly grins, telling 'he forgot'
next moment he observes my anger
for on the table grocery is neatly rested.
His long sturdy fingers
tenderly play with my hair
lovingly, try to detangle them
looking deep into my eyes
causing all butterflies inside.
I feel so blessed
to be part of his life
his strength, his weakness
affection and love
all reserved just for me.
