I couldn't love you more

Love in the winter

 

I Couldn’t Love You More

by jack

 

 

A cold wind whistled, a sharper embrace

This brisk chilly morning on my unsuspecting face

A tiny touch of winter as I walked out of the door

The skies were clear, the stars did shine, I couldn’t love you more

 

Dawn had yet to find me, lingering its sleep

Darkness still engulfed the fields, its silence for to keep

My breath now clearly visible, the air so crisp and pure

Beneath the trees, the autumn leaves, I couldn’t love you more

 

Not a soul was stirring, no noises to be found

A pathway that did guide my feet was there upon the ground

I couldn’t help but wonder what this day might have in store

Now what did wait outside the gate, I couldn’t love you more

 

A song was rolling through my head, a happy melody

With lyrics perfect for the time, the morning I did see

Like rhythms of the oceans as they wash against the shore

Soft and sweet, it did repeat, I couldn’t love you more

 

I walked a little farther, frosted ground beneath my feet

Found the perfect setting and I took myself a seat

Rubbed my hands together an attempt to keep them warm

Then closed my eyes, began to dream, I couldn’t love you more

 

These words I write are saying, if I may be so bold

A message from my beating heart this chilly night is told

It sends a simple meaning to the woman I adore

You are my world, you are my life, I couldn’t love you more

Oh, jack, this is beautiful, almost brought me to tears. Imagery is fantastic. Bet she was very touched to get this.

[Jack...]

Thank you so very mcuh Barbara. I appreciate your kind words.

[LadySoDivine]

Beautiful piece. Makes me warmer on a cold day :) And the feelings that anyone who loves can relate to are so magnificently put together into words. Wonderful job!

[Jack...]

Thank you so much. I appreciate your kind words.

[David Scott]

Your poem brings to mind the warming fire of love that is the balm to carry the human heart through this cold world. I enjoyed the walk with you in this winter wonderland of love.

[Jack...]

Thank you so much David, I always appreciate your flattering comments.

[David Scott]

I intend not to flatter you, but to give you my honest response. Flattery seems disinginuine to me and my review are indeed from my heart, as I am sure your poetry is from yours. I think I would praise the people and the "spirits" in your life who have taught your heart so much about love that you have no choice but to write it and sing it... and you for being teachable on this subject.

[Jack...]

Than I recant the word flattering and replace it with geniune.

[David Scott]

Ha! :-)

[Jack...]

Was that a genuine "Ha!" or a sarcastic "Ha!"? :)

[David Scott]

Sarcasm? What is sarcasm? :)
My Sarcastic Ha! has a ";p" after it, for future reference...

[Jack...]

OK, I will make a note of that...ok...got it.

[Holly Mason]

I find that I get so involved in your writing that maybe there is more to it for me
I would love to have that kind of love-
the flow to this is once again amazing
like the pic as well I took myself a seat-I just like how that reads

[Jack...]

Thanks Jacob, I hope this warmed up your wintry day a bit.

[Frieda P]

This has a melody all it's own, and a sprint in it's step. I envy the woman this is written for, just a simply joyful read Jack...as always. Love this.

[Frieda P]

I meant to say 'I couldn't love this more....' ;-)

[Jack...]

Thanks Frieda, I figured I'd give you a break from the doom and gloom I've been posting.

[Frieda P]

Ha, I'm the Queen when it comes to that, you post whatever is in your heart at the moment Jack, I'll still be reading and enjoying every moment of it...
