To My Love (Free verse) by sliver
Dear Love;
My feelings of love are buried..
Deep within the limitless recesses of this cavern,
Which I refer to as my heart. This letter
Signifies my attempts to delve Into this bottomless
Pit and withdraw at least a portion of my
True feelings for you.
The beauty of poetry is normally sufficient
To describe these feelings called love, which
All men must bear. Poetry, however, could
Never do justice to the ethereal aura which
Must follow a woman of eternal beauty such as
Yourself.
The failings of poetry, while few in
number, Are immediately revealed when an attempt
Is made to use this medium to describe your beauty.
The perfection which is found in your features could
Never be confined to rhyme and metre.
The light of all other women who are viewed as 'beautiful'
Must inevitably be snuffed out when exposed in your
Presence. Why, your shadow alone would carry you through
Any contest in which beauty is judged.
I apologize for my feeble attempts to describe this angel
Which I perceive standing in your place. Now it seems
That I am truly destined for heaven, because I
continually taste paradise while I'm in your presence.
While I'm on the subject of heaven, I would like to
Thank God for creating you. Although I foster no
Hope that my love for you could ever be returned,
The blessings that I have obtained by simply
Being in your presence, are enough to guide me
Through a thousand lifetimes of oppression.
Oppression, Which is the definition of life without
Your love. My life.
