Notes About The Poem

The title of this poem, MORE THAN LOVE, is a result of poet Maya Angelou giving me many tips about writing of poetry, and she even suggested that I study the poetry of Edgar Alan Poe, which I did. In his classic poem, ANABELLE LEE, one line reads <b>"But we loved with a love that was more than love..."</b> and this is just one example of what Maya Angelou and Edgar Alan Poe have given me. She said Poe would talk to me, if I would listen. It is true.

More Than Love

I've looked in eyes so deep they made me soar
through all the gifts of life, this much and more
to challange me to things that could not be
unless had been aroused the very soul of me.

I've seen the smile that makes the heart to sing
and raise me to the best that life can bring
to be the very most that I can ever be
and write each word her smile has ever put in me.

I've breathed the very same and fragrant air
and for a moment had this thing to share
with she, who made my life to soar above
the limits of my life, and so much more than love.
