The Poem I Hope To Write

I want to write a poem
That takes your breath away
That makes your eyes fill with tears
And your knees begin to sway

I want to write a poem
That captures your beating heart
That makes you fall in love again
With me playing the lover’s part

I want to write a poem
That sparks curiosity
That makes you want to write yourself
A love letter addressed to me

I want to write a poem
That you’ll cherish all your life
That makes every maiden reading the verse
Want to be my wife

For if I wrote this poem
That succeeded in these tasks
I feel that I would like your reply
To the question I want to ask

So I search deep inside
For the words that are just right
And use you as inspiration
For this poem I hope to write

I enjoy how you make that last stanza be a summary of all the wonderful things this special person inspires in you! Very nice poetry.
