Why Do I Love You Poem by Kevin East

Why do I love you?
Ask why does sunset die
To resurrect
In morning dew.
Why gentle breeze ripples through
Hushed meadow.
Cooling the soul, elations anew.
Why does tempestuous sea
With passion unquenched
Through countless years
Keep faithful
Drenched
-In a beaming moon
With it's heavenly croon.
Why that extra star
That you kindled in my dreams
With feather light kiss
Burns forever it seems.
Why does my heart tremble
At your loving sigh
Give inner warmth
'Til with you I lie.
Love light in my darkness
Your brush so true
To paint a lonely midnight blue.
You kiss my heart
With your thoughts so soft
And your words heal
With their fragrant waft
That bathes my soul
Holds our dreams aloft.
When destiny for us changed hue
Do you still ask why I love you? .
At eternity in whispered ear
I echo
Not long enough to hold you near
-Not long enough my dear.
