You ask me how much
i love you, noticing how
your stares can ram the walls
of silence, i searched for words
at the trough of floridness
and in the valley of vagaries
By some means, you noticed
how often i hawed for
words have escaped my lips,
leaving me with nothing
but a timorous tongue
i am before you bare
yet even my bones you seek
if i am to prove to you my love
even heaven and hell would
not be enough

Very good poem! I especially like the last verse. This is excellently written, in my opinion; it conveys the message so well with greatly effective imagery. Well done.
