Much Love

Posted February 5, 2009.

I love you
With a love
That isn’t love
Which is a
Different love
From the depth of
Love that
Is from me
The most
Loving
Soul ever
In the time
Of history

I love you
Like the sun
Loves to warm the
Plants I love
You so much
I would go to
The breadth
Of the universe

When you walk
Your body moves
To the music of
Love in my soul
I love you so
That I write until
I have no more hands

   A love that knows no bounds. Some fine phrases here. I particularly like
   ‘Like the sun
   Loves to warm the
   Plants’

   I love you so/that I write until/I have no more hands.

   Well, I’d have given a million to have come up with that! Has to be the best line I’ve read in weeks. It’s the whole poem, right there. Bravo!

   No confusion here between love and infatuation – excellent piece!

   Wow! Your students could teach a few of us about imagery, metaphor, how to turn a phrase. The earnest here works.
