Why Do I Love Thee

Why Do I Love Thee

 

I love you because

You mourn a basement flat I never knew

Because your hair resembles monastery gold

And because you love old poems

 

I love you because

You listen to the words of tiny children

And because your belly is a mountain

You let me climb whenever it pleases me

 

I love you because

Together naked we are able to defy mirrors

You gave me the son I always wanted and because

I am unable to find the perfect words to fill this page

Make of these words what you may. I know what I mean..........

These tender words would melt the hardest of hearts,. They are truly beautiful, and I have to say they brought a lump to my throat. I sincerely hope you shared them with her and she knows exactly how you feel about her. This is the romantic you at your best Neville. Wonderful poetry.

Well done, Neville, a beautiful way to express 'thank you' for being you and I wouldn't have it any other way. When you've found the one who'll put up with the crap and still love you...she's a keeper.

A good write.

[Kay Salisu Titilola]

This is great, an heartfelt piece.
A writing that portrayed a true love Indeed.
Not in cage or in love prison,
But free like eagle spreading its wide wings.
I don't know if this is what it means to you,
But to me, this is what it means to me,
Feeling free in love and not in its captivity.

[Neville]

You are very kind Kay and your words are an uplifting poem in their own write.... thank you... Neville

Thank you for considering these words of mine, truly appreciated.....N

[Stella Armour]

we seldom can define why we feel so deeply for another person, and why try? The most beautiful people are often not beautiful inside.
Just enjoy and nurture what makes you happy :)

[Neville]

What a sound philosophy, cheers, N
