The Ultimate Expression of Love

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 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 millennia 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

WoW! Jack, You have penned such a sensual yet down to earth romantic write. I agree ,we are still searching and trying to describe "this thing called love" but like you wrote in this well written piece "I love you" will have to do. I enjoyed the read :-) Alexis
