I am not yours, not lost in you,

A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.
You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.
Oh plunge me deep in love--put out

Has such a nice rhythm and rhyme...and then you hit that final word. Haha. I hate when poets use similarly spelled words and think it's a substitute for similar-sounding words.

Wow! One of the best love poems ever. I'm not really a fan of love poems usually, but I may just add this one to my favorites list.
