what restless energy in mine heart doth stir
at but the very thought of mine betrothed's love
for me
no man could ever stand taller in mine eyes
no face could appear more handsomer than my
beloved thy's
such love doth hold my every longing
in the perfect heat of his broad warm palm
I think of no other love but thee's
when from my side thee has gone
though the long separations indeed
be quiet torture to endure
the days blend themselves into the nights
yet the moments skip by brighter
knowing such treasure as thine is close soon
to my misty eyes thankful sight
to merely say a simple I love you at this point
in love's regular exchange
seems a tad deflating at best
ah but to say my life as it is
is yours
entirely
and likely ever always was
should tell you more than enough
of my heart's tender distress
so happy Valentine's day my own
daring receptive love
you are a heart's heart leading my own
through this heady eddy storm of commitment
for without you
my glorious wonderful
I do dare say
the sun in my own private sky
quite a bit less brighter
would surely shine
