You Melted My Heart Poem by G.B. Smith

When you first
kissed me

You not only
kissed my lips

but my love you
kissed my heart

from then until
now it's lasted

you still kiss me
in so many ways

each night when
we finish prayer

every time you
caress my arms

whenever you
just look at me

I am not the same
man when I was at 25

on the outside
I am old and gray

however inside still lives
the man you first kissed

the man that when
you kissed him

like a candle long held
it melts and drips down

and that is how it will
always be simply because

you melted my heart

sigh...
