Knowing How To Love

I don't know anyway to love you Than the way I do I tried to call the four winds they weren't enough I've traveled a dusty lane And visited a shaman All in the search for clarity I don't know anyway to show my love I grasped at stars And fumbled a galaxy I watched a night bloom As the last ray of day died In supplication I knelt Reverently I show my love The only way I know how

I read this verse and was left with a nagging hunger, knowing I have penned many verses with love themes. I found one .... "Let Me Teach You Love", you might like. It's not as eloquent, but I think you will like it.... Hugs to ya..... Jake
