Love-soft against the skin

At the present time of writing,

I feel I must confess, of all the

Things I love you in, I love you in

That dress. Though not especially

Low-cut and not especially tight,

It's the sort of dress you sometimes

Find, that's just especially right.

Your shoes are just too thrilling,

Neither too high nor too low, they

Suit your legs ideally, with a

Fashionable peep-toe. A two-tone

Joy in leather, a marriage white

And blue, I've seen them on a film

Star, but I love them more on you.

Your coat is just to die for, a little

Hourglass at the waist, it emphasises

Where it should, in a way that

Understates. The finest fabric ever,

Neither too course nor too thin, so

Very much like you my dear, love-soft

Against the skin.
