How Shall I Say It?

When I write of an emotion, surely it will never be

Accurate enough for all who read to plainly see

The true essence of a sentiment like love

For any sweet lines written here shall never in totality

Portray all of what that humble farmer means to me

 

I can say night's glittering stars each beam more brightly now

That he has become my who,and my why, and my how...

Yet those cliches don't say what I need to say at all

That doesn't really tell you how it is that he makes me

Believe the world is brimming with soft, tender poetry

 

I can say that his eyes can always penetrate my soul

Leave me in an awe I'm beyond desperate to show

Or mention how his arms have now become my Eden-

Though these words can make him smile and bend

They'll never render him aware of what I tuly feel for him

 

When I write that I feel I've met my hearts only destiny

That other men have never made me quite certain as he

That I am dearly loved, and beloved, and lovely

I want to bare my loving soul, but nothing that I say

Matches how I feel within the depths of me today

 

So I shall wait until I'm able to fall into his embrace

And look into his softened eyes, and gently touch his face

These blue eyes will whisper the words that I can't find

These hands will speak for me, or in the least, they'll try

To show him what is his: all of me, for all the rest of my life

Still working on this one, but feel free to help me make it better, if you have a suggestion.

nicely done tho if it was me I would try and shorten it a bit-make fewer words but give more powerful images
of course I'm no expert as I have a few poems that are just as long--bless you

You portrayed the wonderful feelings of the many emotions we experience with love
very well. Deep and heartfelt I think you did a wonderful job with this.

This is just wonderful and very beautiful, very well written enjoyed this.

Just give it a quick typo check but all in all it's well done. Ironically ... I feel it conveys .... the difficulty to convey.
