Words Gathered

Words gathered into the poem unwritten  
Out of his mind and onto the sheet  
How he ached to describe her skin  
She melted his heart, his blood began  
    to heat.  
The words he wanted to write  
Complimented and teased  
His thoughts of her, ravishing and tasting  
Eyes closed as his writing had ceased.  
Listening to her laughter in his mind  
Years from now he would still love  
This woman who had become his wife  
In sickness and in health from God above  
Laying his pen down he left the poem           
   unwritten.
