Why I Love You: A Proposal

It's not your eyes, It's not your face either

or how you look or words drawn from your lips

that make me, of your soul, long to take sips

deep. That's not why, of you, I'm a believ'r.

Perhaps Homer could describe this passion

clearly: As swans in love ... So strong does our

bond persist. Provoke the muse for further

senses, words can't form the everlasting.

Enclosed in these tight, tight quatrains reside

You and i, indescribable, zenith

symbols of true affection. Told in kiss,

hidden in rhyme, but to capture – denied.

Love is not described but experienced,

folly to analyze, i am convinced.

  1. I'm biased, it's true, but I love this poem.

    My favorite part is:
    As swans in love ... So strong does our
    bond persist
