Do I Write Love Poems? Poem by Denis Martindale

Yes, because I am a hopeless romantic
capable of creating something beautiful
to match the twinkle in her eyes,
the cascading of her hair,
the blush upon her cheeks
and the truth of her first kiss.
I can write with all admiration,
as if with the perfume of a thousand roses,
as smooth as the soft skin of her shoulders,
and the next line has been edited out...
Phew, is it getting hot in here, or is it just me?
