I love you dearly

why,

i love you dearly-

dearly as i love

the billowing gray steam

floating off cement

after a summer rain

as it is swirling swiftly 

to the murky cobalt heavens

it makes figures on the streets' many dancing men

dearly as i love

the velvety blue dark

glittering with gems

in the moonbeam's arc

critters always chirping

always a dog will bark

dearly as i love

sleeping by the sea

middle of the night

when you hear

the waves crashing

dearly as i love

the choir of katydids 

chirping behind 

the burning campfires of august

dearly as i love

the crisp air and scents

of bitter october nights and burning jack-o-lantern heads 

but none of these things could compare

there is just no possibility

there is nothing greater than the way i love you dearly

-l.r.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

this is a very perceptive and well imaged write.

especially the second stanza which reminds me of NY and my childhood...

and there is nothing greater than a true love shared with someone special.
