Ilya Shambat Poet Iambic Pentameter

Heart And Mind

They say that love is blind,

But my love for you isn't:

My heart is with my mind,

My soul is with my reason.


I know why I love you,

And it's completely real:

And unified and true:

I think it, and I feel it:


I love you for your heart,

Your sweetness and compassion,

I love you since you're smart

And filled with joy and passion,


I love you for your warmth

And excellence and wisdom;

For lights that through you course

In every time and season -


For beauty that you are

Both outside and inside,

Because you are a star

In nature and in mindset -


I love you for your will

To help, and for your honor:

For where you've gone and been

And came out all the stronger:


I love you for your grace

And for your dedication

To good deeds; your soft face

And glorious inspiration -


For your resplendent gifts

And what you're doing with them -

And all you are - it is

Completely true to reason:


I love you for your light

And unremitting kindness

All times of day and night -

No, my love is not mindless


I love you for I see

The wonder that you're truly

And from it comes to be

The passion reasoned fully:


My heart and mind are clear

And doubt they both cast out

And there is nothing here

That's blind or not thought out:


I love you with my mind

And heart and strength and spirit

No, my love is not blind -

It's unified: So feel it.
