Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

The Ultimate Expression

Your lips seduce me

Your eyes entrance me

Your smile makes me catch my breath

A symphony of love all rolled into one

With a voice overflowing with love

With seductive charm

Your voice melts my heart

I tremble at your tender touch

The word “love” doesn't seem to do it justice

There must be some other phrase

Perhaps yet to be invented

For thousands and thousands of years

Poets have struggled to describe

What humans have experienced through the centuries

Since the dawn of civilization

And we are still searching

In the meantime, the simple phrase,

“I love you” will have to suffice

It's been repeated an untold number of times

Yet it is still the ultimate expression of love
