Shades of Intimacy

I will see you the way everything precious
should be viewed...with gentleness, admiration, respect, honor, and love. I will take you in with my eyes and tend to you with my heart. You will make this woman marvel at God made art for you are a masterpiece. You will captivate masterfully; I will be arrested by the way you think; enlightened by your speech; and stimulated by your soul. I will be rooted so deeply in love that love-laced poetry will flow. We will be bare in each other's presence, but the transparency will be another shade of our intimacy, reciprocal and beautiful and worthy of patience. We'll praise God for our journey of preparation and waiting.
