How Do I Love Thee Response

This love is pure and for you alone.
This love held precious in a sacred realm.
This love is comfort worthy to be called home.
This love is a jewel and yours to own.
How deep is this love?There is no measure.
How deep the yearning that your eyes embrace?
How deep the meaning to share its treasure?
How deep are the roots when hearts interlace?
My love's a bollard to your tethered heart.
My love's a soft feather on your soul's wings.
My love's a fragrant scent that won't depart.
My love's a musical note the heart sings.

I shall embrace you with my love so strong.
I shall caress you as the years grow long.
