Tow the Line

To the line that reaches eternity the line standing in front of me I left myself to wonder while hopefull dreams I ponder I love you reached an I love you back this I treasure in a loving sack and add to it the many hugs That signal me a secret love I reach for things I might not posses With each opportunity put it to test And with each success put doubt to rest the love I seek and nothing less A state of limbo for that, that crest My poor heart hopes for the best When love is met with humbleness And proceed to love without regret Don't leave me with this terrible debt Uneasy with a heart just left I am willing with words and deeds I'll confess it is you I need my love for you has become a creed I only look for feelings agreed With that my deepest love succeds And I will satisfy my deepest greed

Did this happen to be a poem for the box of lost things contest? I could see it working in a not so literal way . Nicely done.
