I Love You2

The simplest verse for the day the heart swells 'til you just must shout it...

‘Though gently murmured ‘tween the lips

          is often all need said,

this day (my love) the oral scripts

          ring truer somehow read.

So penned on parchment, etched in stone

          for all the worlds to see,

this love for you and you alone

          once rumored now must be-

A scream from mighty mountains’ peaks

          ‘cross every grand plateau,

resounding softly whilst it seeks

          out those who not yet know…

Then drifting o’er the emerald seas

          ‘long rivers, lakes, and streams,

‘til just a whisper in a breeze

          inspiring lovers’ dreams.

‘Tis just the start and as we go

          forevermore I’ll swear-

you’ll see and hear and feel and know

          I love you everywhere.

so like Poe...and i love Poe

great rhythm to this...

"i love you everywhere"

everywhere you go, everywhere i go...

made me think of Phenomenon...and Travolta's line when he asks kyra sedgwick if she would love him for the rest of his life...and her response is "No, i will love you for the rest of mine."

really good stuff here and such a change of pace from the other i read from you, you are quite versatile with your style and words.

I loved that movie, and Poe as well!

Yes, everywhere for always.

This is quite a bit different from the others I've posted here, but it's probably the easiest in style and structure for me. A very simple piece, but I so love simple. Was actually written for someone, and there's a rather complex story tucked between those simple lines.

Thank you very much for so much of your time, Jacob. I honestly appreciate it.

Thank you Sam, nice to meet a neighbor! I'll be back to your page very soon.

That is SUPERB!! The beauty of this poem, like a clear-water brook slowly meandering through the woods, is in perfect tune with the mind. Wow!

"Once I had a secret love...that lived within the heart of me..."

A lovely poem--not a sonne,, but the feel of one.

You're most kind, Marie. Loved that song as well... such beautiful lyrics.
