Enchanted

He said he loved me before we met that he loved me in unconsciousness Now I have loved in many degrees but this saying remains a mystery. It begs the question "what love is this"? Is love not love of character and deed and all other reasoning remiss? Love comes easy I know right off a beautiful soul I long to unlock Attraction is simple but enchantment is rare It's the substance of love that leaves you aware One can promise a wealth to hold but until it's seen it's only fools gold Unexplainable connections may never end but to trust ones character enough to depend that is the key which locks love in Therein lies loves lasting synonym If love is not a conscious choice what voice have deeds to tell when if by chance enchantments spell fades with many miles dispelled So if enchanted I live without yet find trust in the love I see greater the blessing to dream awake than enchanted by the one who sleeps

In north American culture we romanticize love as a feeling. For me the feeling is the byproduct of truly loving another person which is an action. I love my wife each day as a conscience choice. I honor her and appreciate her with actions and my love is my commitment to be engaged in our relationship. I enjoyed reading your poem this morning.

If infants bear the burden of time; her rocking chair these words which quiver; he chimes ? Nay, baby shall not their peaceful dreams abate; when all is love and `Love can't wait |*.*\ `Enchanted *.* Love, Jeremy (*
