I Love You Because

Like the wind that has spontaneous 
direction,
and the sun that burns with a constant 
flame,
and the water that has a soothing reflection,
for a devotion my heart does proclaim.

Violins play a diapason on strings of my soul,
buried deep is the longing desire,
a unity that is quite resolute and whole,
with a ravenous appetite on fire.

No other humors my bountiful wit,
whether or not it strikes ample fancy,
maybe they just do not want to admit,
true affection is magnetic and chancy.

If he appreciates your wit even when others fail to understand it, you have a special guy, Caryl. "True affection is magnetic and chancy" is quite insightful. The first two verses are truly romantic and the last one made me smile. Very nice entry for Matt's contest. Good luck! Love, Carolyn
