  I Would Live in Your Love

User Rating:

  I would live in your love as the sea-grasses live in the sea,
Borne up by each wave as it passes, drawn down by each wave that recedes;
I would empty my soul of the dreams that have gathered in me,
I would beat with your heart as it beats, I would follow your soul
as it leads.

Sarah Teasdale

How true to relate the imagery of the sea to the depth and power of deep love.

Wow! ' I would empty my soul of the dreams that have gathered in me,
I would beat with your heart as it beats, I would follow your soul
as it leads.' - how powerful is that! It leaves me speechless. This is just awesome

This poem took my breath away. Anyone who has ever been deeply, truely head over heels in love could relate to this beautiful piece. Thank You! It takes me back to my younger days when nothing but LOVE mattered.
