A Simple Love Poem

'Tis this I seek to make me whole An ounce of your affection A simple smile, our shadows touch A glance in my direction A smile is more than what it seems When worn upon your lips It brightens even the darkest days And spoils a solar eclipse What must I do to make you see My heart spells out your name It cannot feel anothers love And you my sweet, the blame The breath I breathe has been reused For your name is all it knows I live behind these blinded eyes For your beauty is all it shows Just take one step in my direction And let me know you see I'll be your knight in shining armor The one who sets you free And if you should ever speak my name My ears will hear no more For when you hear an angel speak You've now found Heaven's door I'll wait until you pass me by Then I'll no longer pine But til then I know I have a chance To one day make you mine

She'd be a fool not to let a "knight in shining armor" into her heart. Few people can express feelings of devotion as well a you did in this poem, Larry. Always surpising us...always taking different directions in style and subject. Great talent, Larry, and it goes far beyond your excellent limericks. Love, Carolyn
