Unobtrusive

I want to be unobtrusively yours,
in the place where my head
lies, just where the heart beats
and the heat of us imbues
and love transcends.

I want to be the
motion and the stillness,
the crunch of steps
in winter chill and
the splash of sun
on a windswept day.

Unobtrusive I will slip
be the smile on a lip,
the dream in the eye
and the sigh
that escapes
just after
the final kiss.

I think Ivan R has it right, the words just fit and it does has that unobtrusive feel running through it especially the lilting final stanza.

Literature and the media has instilled in us that love has to be loud and over-powering. As your poem so well illustrates, not necessarily.

The writing matches the subject perfectly. It's so quiet, but very nice.
