More Than Myself

This is my love poem for Vaentines day. It was written for my love Liz. More than myself If every moon beam Touching your lovely face Was a reflection of my love for you And every lunar ripple On the surface of every sea Were expressions of my love It would still not be enough For me to show how much You mean to me The deepest reaches of the farthest seas Can not express how deep My love for you is my Lion Queen The lofty peaks of the highest mountains Would be far below my heart as it is carried on the wings of your love And the vast icy void of space and time Cannot express the empty coldness I would feel if I were to loose you My being is warmed by the sun of your presence As are the seeds of life Warmed by the first loving rays of spring And like the mighty humbleness of life giving waters I will always seek the lowest point And place you above myself and all other desires I need you like the wind needs direction I love you like the hawk loves the sky You consume me as fire does wood You better me as spirit does soul I give thanks in the morning evening And all points between To the one who made this possible for you and I And now I give thanks to the one most deserving Of my loving attentiveness The one who both graces and challenges my life With your fiery spirit For you or the one I love more than myself These being the highest of feelings I’ve ever felt JasonScotPatrick Copyright2010 All rights reserved
