Why Do I Love Thee

Why do I love thee, seems a foolish thing to say,

Perhaps it is all the little things you do most every day.

A tender smile, a loving glance that lets me know you care,

The giggle of a schoolgirl, the way you twirl your hair.

 

Maybe it’s the caring heart revealed when I was ill,

Giving without hesitation though you likely had your fill.

All these things no one would notice in their daily grind,

But I, yes I alone do notice they are etched into my mind.

 

All of these are things I see and with aging ears do hear,

Though it’s surely something deeper that brings this man to tears.

Something from the deepest recesses making two one whole,

Touching every fiber of being down to my mortal soul.

 

It’s something that I cannot see or put in simple words,

Futile it would be to even try sounding most absurd.

So why is it that I love thee, still a foolish thing to say,

It’s everything about you that that I never could betray.

The Greatest Of Loves (Haiku)

The greatest of loves
Need no words to so express
Written in the stars

Love Is Blind (Acrostic)

Last night I laid quietly by your side.

Only the sound of your breathing could be heard,

Very soft and low over the silence of night.

Enchanted was I by this simple act.

 

I thought back to when we first met,

So long ago in what seems like a previous life.

 

Beauty of your body and spirit enthralled me,

Love at first sight captured me,

In the many years since, it has not abated.

Never questioning fate we have become one–

Destined for eternity–as lovers in Heaven.

Fold Into My Arms (Senryu)

Fold into my arms
‘Tis were you’ve always belonged
Love is in the stars

A Casual Glance

A casual glance,

Sending whispers of love and lust,

Eyes averting eyes,

Embarrassed at the thought of capture.

An innocent smile,

Sunlights glimmer off ivory mirror,

Seductive and sensual,

Beckoning an invitation.

A brush of skin,

Accidental yet intentional,

Goosebumps cascading,

Erupting hot and lascivious.

A pounding heart,

Rhythmically offering itself,

Longing to be cradled,

In the impetuous throes of passion.

A tender kiss,

Long and warm on silky lips,

Without so much as a word,

Two become one.

Giving Of The Heart (Senryu)

Giving of the heart

Leaves one’s self vulnerable

There’s no greater thrill

Roses Thorn (Sonnet)

Roses thorn–savage call,
Reminds how fragile thy love.
Thy bloodless drop of tears they fall,
Tainting thy ivory dove.

In sorrow, my sorrow I beg repent,
Thy pain hast no place in my heart.
I pray to God relief be sent,
Promise never again to take part.

On bended knee I pray thou forgive,
I never meant to perpetrate such pain.
Promise do I for as long as I live,
Or be damned to eternity of shame.

Dearest Rose, beautiful Rose, my thorns I know I must quell.
Revealing my heart to thee who must know, or forever be banished to hell.

Breathing Heavily (Haiku)

Breathing heavily

Heartbeat rapid–heart attack

The symptoms of love

To Have Lost At Love (Tanka)

To have lost at love

A horrible thing indeed

Never to have loved

Is a gift truly wasted

That can never be retrieved

It Comes Not In A Jar

It comes not in a jar,

Can not be boxed, placed in a sack.

There is no recipe,

No cookbook, no formula to concoct.

There is no raffle,

No lottery, no auction to crave.

It’s no magic potion,

No spell, no wand you can wave.

Very often there’s pain

It slashes, it slices right down to the bone.

Frequently it’s blind,

It’s crippled, it’s stunted as others have shone.

But more often than not it results in true bliss,

It’s passion, it’s love that is tops on the list.
