Reaching Deepest Oceans

My beloved How far will I love you As far as where moons immerse in deep seas Beyond the edge of a tide's crimson hue Where your breath fills my sails with soft zephyr breeze Lone I embark to our promised land Across borders of secret pain Under still stars,above drifting sand through anchored shadows of rain Oh foreign eyes,but never distant Your arms'safe harbour of a long embrace Two souls entwined,two hearts persistent Beneath night's sky,my lips outline your face Water rise, water falls between shores and time Empty spaces still abhore our love,sweet tender and sublime

Let's look at synonyms for beloved (the word is not commonly used in the 21st century & takes most readers right to Browning in comparison which we don't want.)-darling, dear, dearest, precious, adored, much loved, cherished, treasured). FAR is an unusual word to use in a measurment of love? Do you mean will distance affect the depth of your love? Line 3 consider a synonym for immerse-submerge, dip, dunk, duck, sink, plunge; soak, drench, saturate, marinate, wet, douse, souse, steep

Ok #1 my honey you drive me nuts with the double spacing, there's no need for it UNLESS there is ex: between verses OR for emphasis #2 just so you know love poems unless asked for &/or are very unique are VERY out of favor - OK we have a love poem to make UNIQUE - you see - you would have to beat this to be unique- How do I love thee? Let me count the ways./I love thee to the depth and breadth and height/My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight/For the ends of being and ideal grace.
