For my hubby on the occasion of our 10th anniversary.

My Love

His kisses are like a heady wine,

His breath intoxicates me.

His scent surrounds me,

His name pours like liquid from my tongue.

He is a prince among men

His very presence desired,

Like the costliest of jewels.

Hurry, my love, take me away with you!

My love Replies

You, the most beautiful among women

Your very essence more precious than gold.

Your eyes are like jasper,

your skin like pearls.

Your mouth is like the sweetest honey

I delight myself in your treasures

I alone hold the key to your storehouse

Hurry, my love, come away with me!

My Love

He hides me in his chambers

And bathes in my perfume.

He delights himself in my love

And takes rest in my embrace.
