I loved your poem
though I've loved them all
each one a step you sprinted up
to get closer to my heart
this one beget so much
all consuming love
the truest sort
for the madness of
wanting such
distance between us
to be dashed
you made me feel as
timeless
as the constellations
like Andromeda herself
was my mere understudy
I've never been so lavished
with love
not like that
I've been thought well of
yes of course
remembered
even praised for an occasional
poem or mere letter or two
I've been embraced with
honest affection and
carefully respected by
my supposed peers
but you,
my most beloved brilliant sir
you absolutely swell my heart
with your tender trail of endless praise
and that's not my vanity speaking
it is that void that's always been in me
so voluptuously now being filled
by the magnificence that ever
likely always was
in a word
YOU..............................
