- Love Poems
Words
Spending hours mooning over dreams
Over fantasies, dancing in the moonlight,
Weaving together cleverly crafted words to express feelings
Feelings that I dreamed about,
Feelings of overwhelming love, of beauty, of wonder
Then one day you walked into my life
You turned everything upside down and inside out
You broke down all of the walls I'd spent years building
I learned to trust you, I learned how to love, I learned to be loved
Of all of the cleverly crafted words in the world
I could not find any to match the depth of my feelings
I tried to spin poems like I had so often before
It left me dizzy and tired, with a headache
Why don't I write you poems like I once did?
Why don't I write clever rhymes about the deepness of my love?
Everyday my love for you grows, yet I can no longer find the words
It isn't because I don't care, or that I'm too busy.
It is because the words don't exist to express how much I love you
Rhymes and clever words seem petty and empty
They seem shallow, inadequate, and cheap
My love for you as deep as my soul, and as wide as the universe
Feelings that cannot be measured in words, rhymes or poems
So please my love
Don't think that just because I don't write you poems everyday
That my love for you is any less
Let my actions speak louder than words
When I hold you in my arms and kiss you,
And gaze into your eyes
Know that I love you more and more each passing day
