(Introduction)

True love is the greatest thing in the worldÂ…
Except for cough dropsÂ…
Everyone knows that.

Your breasts remind me of Mount Rushmore... my face should be among them.

True is the word of your eyes
Beauty is the beating of your heart

To love a person is to learn the song
That is in their heart,
And to sing it to them
When they have forgotten.

I love you
Because the Earth turns
Round the sun
Because the North wind
Blows North sometimes
Because the Pope is Catholic
And most Rabbis Jewish
Because winters flow into springs
And the air clears after a storm
Because only my love for you
Despite the charms of gravity
Keeps me from falling off this Earth
Into another dimension

I love you
Because it is the natural order of things

To wish is to wish for you
To sleep is to dream of you
To live is to wait for you
To smile is to think of you

I cannot exist without you
I am forgetful of everything but seeing you again
My life seems to stop there
I see no further.
You have absorbed me.
I have a sensation at the present moment as though I were dissolving
I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion
I have shuddered at it
I shudder no more
I could be martyred for my religion
Love is my religion
I could die for that
I could die for you
My creed is love, and you are its only tenet
You have ravished me away by a power I cannot resist.

I spent last night dreaming of your eyes,
But your hair kept getting in the way.
Your lips dropped in to tell me how youÂ’d been,
But when I tried to kiss them,
My pillow told me IÂ’d missed them.
Your voice dropped by and sang a lullaby,
And it was then I knew just what to do.
IÂ’d fall asleep and then,
IÂ’d dream of you again.

1 It wasn't the hair that kept getting in the way. It was ... uhh ... oh yeah - death. (sorry if that seemed a bit snarky.) Kinda odd how an experience in someone's life can change even the most romantic elem ents into painful reminders. I started this comm ent as one of my "reconstruct with different words" poems, but this popped into my head (pissy day at work today), and I figured; "Well, I haven't been an asshole much lately (MW is soo good at it...), so I'll toss that out there." So I did. I think it stems from the fact that Farvve didn't suck Sunday. If he had, I might be feeling a bit more love. (Hey - your anti-spam software is too aggressive. It's beating me up about m e n - without spaces.)

Your eyes were closed,
Your lips were sweet
And one soft kiss
Meant joy complete.

I swore to myself
It wouldnÂ’t happen again
I vowed to myself
That this was the end.
The end of this longing,
This yearning so strong.
I said I was over you,
But oh, I was wrong.
Now here it is again,
Quite a while later.
And my love for you
Is now even greater.
I spend all my time
Thinking of you,
IÂ’m in love with you again
And thereÂ’s nothing I can do.

NOTE: I first started dating the woman who would one day become my Beloved Wife shortly after I joined the Navy in 1986. In the 12 years that followed, we broke up & got back together at least half a dozen times. Our love continually oscillated between ember and inferno. Eventually, however, we realized how much we meant to each other, and after one particularly romantic evening in 1998, we caught fire in a way that would shame the sun. We were married less than a year later, and have been blazing ever since.

NOTE 2: Happy Sweetest Day, Beloved Wife :-)

I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self-respect and it's these things I'd believe in even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn't all she should be... I love her and that's the beginning of everything.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every dayÂ’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhoodÂ’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

I have had a really bad day and it always makes me feel better to see a pretty girl smile. So, would you smile for me?

As the rain falls from the sky
So have I fallen for you.
As the thunder longs to be heard,
So I long to be loved by you.
As the lightning bolts across the sky,
So my heart bolts for you.
As the sun shines beautifully and brightly,
So does my smile because of you.
For without rain, there is no growth.
Without thunder, there is no sound.
Without lightning, there is no brightness.
Without sun, there is no warmth.
And without you, there is no love!
