honey, do you love me?
why don’t you say it louder
with your warm, strong hands
holding me closer until i melt
into your steady, beating chest
where i find the safest nest
within your steady heart best
so hold me closer until i melt
into your strong, warm hands
why not say it louder–
honey, you do love me!

Sweet and I love that middle turn verse turning this from questionning to positive affirmation of love!

I think this one works well, Lynn. You got the two different meanings.

It certainly is!

Very nice love poem. I like how you made bold the center line. You could take the first, last and that center line as one poem.
