I Love You Because....... Poem by Lora Colon

I Love You Because.......

Rating: 5.0


Why do I love you as I do?
You caused a stirring in my soul
When first you offered me your heart,
And then my own heart you stole

Why do I love you as I do?
Your warmth weaves joy through my day,
When you're not close, even a prayer
Cannot hasten despair away

Why do I love you as I do?
To my shore you came like a wave
Bringing life to my dying heart,
While others brought flowers for my grave

Why do I love you as I do?
Affection chains me to your heart,
I waste no effort to escape,
These links will not be torn apart

Why do I love you as I do?
Could my heart ever forget?
Though you made me your prisoner,
I surrendered with no regret

Why do I love you as I do?
Why does the setting sun kiss the sea?
The angels know the reason why.....
Loving you is my destiny

Wow, a very powerful love indeed. Sounds very much like my own love, except for: When you're not close, even a prayer Cannot hasten despair away And I never would consider myself as his prisoner, though I do very much surrender to him as he surrenders to me. I never despair when my love is away because I know he will be back soon :) A beautiful poem,

Love is the poetry in your voice as you share with others the emotion that engulfs you. Nice write Lora.

OK, I guess it is possible that you could actually feel this way about some guy today. But what about tomorrow? We all know what an incredible imagination you have dear Poet, your aura like honey, your words shine like gold. God Himself might feel some pangs of jealousy that you love a mere man like this. No, you're safe, I guess, since God isn't real for you? Still even if this guy is as great as you imagine, (that is hard to imagine you realize) , being a guy he's sure to forget your silly birthday someday! No, wait, I guess you're still safe because no one knows your birthday! He does? Wow, I give up. If this is not real love, then I've never seen it in my lifetime before! Congratulations Dear Poet! If he is not always perfect, then may he, at least, always exceed your expectations. : -) I wish you the best! : -)
