My lover’s eyes are never far from my thoughts,
Nor the lingering touch of her delicate hands,
Nor the warm softness of her lips when she kisses me,
Nor the joy I take from holding her in my arms.
Madly, deeply, hopelessly I love her!
And she knows I am a transparent liar,
And she knows I would be lying to myself and to her
If I were to suggest I could ever refuse her anything.
I think this is what caused Samson all the trouble.
He could never say no to Delilah.
Still, he loved her and sought to please her,
Up until the moment the Philistines gouged out his eyes.
What beautiful woman past or present, especially you,
Has not understood the fathomless depths of her power,
Has not influenced a man like me to her advantage,
Has not preordained the birth of kings and the collision of empires?
Ask of me what you will my love, but love me still.
Madly, deeply, hopelessly I love you!
Eyes open or eyes closed, I see only you.
I dream only you. I think only of you.
I see love as everything. A man that cannot love, cannot live. And in your poetry you difined love in so many ways. Like i said to a poet recently, 'True love cannot be defined' Very sweet poem written out of love.
Oh my, how wonderful. I have enjoyed yout writtings throughly. I wish to read more Patricia

Amazing poem! I'll be looking for more from you. Keep up the good work!
I like your work, it does not scream Poetry, but it tells a story. Vague, yet blunt. True yet not completely there. I love it, lots of emotions and I can see the inspiration that has pushed you into writing this. Lovely work(s) of art! By far you are a true example that Written Art is indeed a most Visual Art.
A poem that causes your eyes to fill with tears is pretty powerful. I would give anything to have someone feel this for me. I hope your special someone appreiciates it. Thank you for envolking such emotion.
