...And yet, I found you
And it is real,
And not some story I write,
To make me feel love where none resides
You are real, not a creation of my pen
You are real
...And all I wrote before,
Is as true now and truer than when I wrote it
Save perhaps one thing (or perhaps two)
: I can hold no higher loves
I had hoped my highest love,
Writing,
Would retain its place foremost in my heart
It has not; and I couldn't be happier
I love you now more than
Everything else in the Universe I care about at all,
Put together
You are my Life, my Universe, my Everything
(Let's read Douglas Adams together)
...I still say their hearts and too-sane minds
Cannot comprehend loves other than our romance,
Things such as Art, such as Writing...
But that now I can but place my love for you higher than expected,
It only serves to show our love is that much further beyond
Any love in the world, in all history,
Short only perhaps of the love held for Creation
By whatever God or Goddess or Higher Being there may be
...No mortal has ever loved as we do
...Perhaps also I should say,
We two are made for each other,
And none other could ever come close
To being as perfectly matched
I know now, my luv, I could not ever love another
As I love you. You are my soul-mate,
A term I cannot help but think overused by others
In this world; I want to be with you and only you
Not just all my life, but all my lives
...I just had to take a little time to ammend my former poem
I had to share my joy at knowing you,
And right a few inaccuracies
(If I knew you and loved you when I wrote that poem,
And you inspired all but the last stanza
[for it was a concept piece, the end was the point,
And had not to do with you],
I now must recognize your contribution
[Or let the world recognize it; I always did,
As did any who knew us both],
And let all know my love for you but grows
With each day, though every day it is
Infinite to begin
...You inspire a prose writer to poetry
*G* Perhaps over-sappy poetry at times,
Perhaps clichéd;
But nonetheless, every word true,
And infinitely insufficient....
