Much More Than Love Poem by Marieta Maglas

Much more than green looks the sea in your twinkling eye,
Much more than salty are your eyes in the sea transgress,
Much more than green are leaves floating on waves to die,
In green waves, green eyes searched the beauty of loneliness.

Much more than you means your love in my eyes of keen,
Much more than love means the grain of your sad saltiest tear,
Much more than sadness means the beauty of your green,
Much more than the green means your whole life for me, my dear.


Dedicated to Alfred Lord Tennyson.
