Analysis of Sonnet for an Angel

If not for you where would I be today?
Most likely dead or on some distant shore.
Your love does not drift like the ocean waves.
It stays close to my heart, I can't ask for more.
Your skin So Soft like velvet on my tongue.
Your orchid, sublime, responds to every kiss.
To my ears your heart beats like a song.
If I never met you my life would be amiss.
But now we build the future bold and brave.
There is no fear when I am in your arms.
The booze is gone and I'm no longer a slave.
My soul is not in a state of alarm.
Your breath is like the wind on barren land.
your touch is like the warm summer sand
