Ways To Say I Love You
 

I

i long to drown in your sweet embrace,
to dissolve in the ocean
i glimpse behind your eyes,
but the barrier of flesh
forever separates us...
and all I can do,
is to drift upon
the currents of passion
that swells inside me
whenever you are near...

II

i sow seeds of verse
and drop them
one by one
into the dark ocean of you,
hoping that in your midnight depths
they bloom...

III

my verse,
makes the barest of ripples
upon your midnight surface,
and my grateful heart
sinks below your depths....

IV

the myriad islands of light burning cold
in the dark ocean of space
cannot compare to the constellations
twinkling in your eyes....

V

you are my soul's source
the fountain of all my verse
my oasis in the desert...
 

VI

my verse is empty
without you,
for you are the Spring
that sleeps,
inside all seeds...

VII

you are -
the light of my life!
the promise of dawn,
in my world of eternal night....
