love haunts

fizz
plays
at my nose,
tickling,
from a fresh
poured coca~cola;

butterflies inside me
each time our lips meet.

friends
slide,
up my legs,
warmly,
these well worn
torn blue jeans;

your arms each morning
begging me to stay.

or is that just me
wanting to.

asphalt
stretches,
between horizons,
reflecting
in the shiny
rear view mirror;

whispers carry forever
to my ears from your mouth.

everything i
see
taste
touch
reminds me
of you.

and i haven't even
got to work yet.

how will i
ever get
anything done
with you
right here
inside me?

Hi Brian,

This is so hauntingly beautiful. It truly shows how much you love your wife and the life around you. I like the asphalt in the rearview mirror, I have never associated it with leaving your love behind.

As always you are just amazing in what you have expressed.

Thank you.

God bless.

Ocean Girl said...

You drink coke in the morning before going to work? Coke can cause butterflies in the stomach you know. And that fizzy sweet taste can linger all day.

Proper breakfast may help :)

Beth said...

You are such a sweetie! I love how you love your wife.

Now, I'm off to beg my husband to write some poetry for me.

Bernie said...

You are going to make a lot of husbands mad tonight......they should of thought of doing this.

exquisite, Brian. like i said, never take it for granted. i sense, somehow, you won't...

Her Majesty Lisa (LadyWanderlust) said...

simply beautiful. Sigh. I wish that one day I find that. I had it once and let it go. It was the right decision at that time, but I will always wonder, "what if?". You words remind me of this.

Hugs to you for making me connect to my inner romantic, but if you tell anyone I said that, I will gut you like a bass on the side of lazy Texas river. :)

Dianne said...

Oh my oh my
You are out of your mind in poetry musing
With that many followers, you must spend all day at a computer, Ha!

I can't type that fast.

Thanks for following
Thanks for writing
Please give my muse your feedback, she needs feeding.

Your writing blows me away, when I'm missing my muse, I find yours.

Hilary said...

Your wife's eyes must mist over when she reads your expressions of love. Mine do.

Chief said...

Oh now I need a freshly poured Coke!

The Mistress said...

How beautifully romantic. There's nothing sweeter than a man in love with his wife. Except for a cupcake, maybe. Hee Hee!

Mighty M said...

So beautiful! It is always so tough to have "multiple" lives and have to leave one world to go to another. You just expressed it so amazingly!

The girl with the flour in her hair said...

Wow...I never realized anyone could love coca cola quite that much... ;)

Mmm said...

I've known this too adn it is incredible, isn't it? Wow. So love this. Brilliant. How wonderful love is.

Kathy's Klothesline said...

Is this a whisper of sweet nothings? As much as I wish my husband could express himself the way you do.... I think I will just love him the way he is .... you know .... handy! He gives me such great blog material....

Little Ms Blogger said...

Being loved and loving someone back completely is truly one of life's wonders.

Having been with my ex husband for 15 years and only now experiencing this with my hubby, I can't believe I spent all those years without knowing true love.

Goofball said...

well, if you need an reason for not being concentrated at work, glad it's such a good one!

Jessie said...

WOW!
a beautiful love poem. think of the ecstacy if you whispered these words to the woman you love ...

Daniel said...

Take me Mandingo! Oh, sorry, your words, like poetry, touch me. Although I jest, your wife must know how much she means to you. Never stop writing to her heart. Blessings.

willow said...

Keep her right there inside you, Brian.

Deb said...

I am thinking of the perfect Valentine's Day gift for your wife - all of your beautifully written, incredibly romantic love poems tied together with a red satin ribbon. Sealed with a kiss.

jingle said...

that is amusing!

g-man said...

Your wifes lips taste like Cola?
You need to buy some Strawberry Chapstick!

Brian Miller said...

WOW B!!
Im lucky enough to be with a beautiful soul who starts my every day with a poem he writes for me while I sleep.
Your words remind me of how he sees me, how he describes it. I adore him and I know after reading this that you have someone who adores you as equally as you adore her!
