I Cannot Give Account

I Cannot Give Account I can not give account of ways that I love you For there’s no conscious thought to clothe the undefined The boundless universe has left me not a clue And so the vastness of my love stays unconfined It is beyond the reaches of your searching mind A feeling and belief that you are all I need The end of this conviction you will never find And fibers of my life on wonders of it feed And so you rest in comfort and you are content Though not a seasoned word I’ve uttered or expressed The knowledge of my love my eyes to you have sent You feel it’s sovereign power on body I’ve caressed There are no ways for me to show my depth of love But rest assured that time will testify for me Each day, each month, each year and life in heave’n above Will be the ways you long for through eternity ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fate gifted us, drinking passion from its chalice, Waking flames serving first to increase our ardor; Summer, your sweet roses covered our great palace, This time away from your touch, became much harder. I look across this wind-blown majestic ocean, Mind turns to epic sadness of our parting hour; I begged then for distance erasing potion, I tried to remain your rock hard castle tower. The desperate, longing look- your beautiful face, Informing me the dire depths that you found this clutch; I reminded, you no distance, could our love erase, Or lessen my need to feel your soft, gentle touch. Last week, I sent you a love-soaked, tear-stained letter, Now, I board ship bringing me to my one true love; Reading my golden love sent, you will feel better, Not again, my love's touch, shall I deprive you of. ~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Eileen Manassian & Robert J. Lindley ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~ I went looking for this poem on my home page here and I could not find it! I remember posting it but maybe I did so at another poetry site, as my memory fails me so often now. Here it is and thank God Eileen reminded me in her Blog comment to me about our one collaboration.
