Why I Love You

Why I love you, and
How I love to love you, 
You will never fathom; maybe

In the middle of the starry night, 

Lost on the gentle waves of the sea, 
Oceans dancing so 
Velvet skies writing down, there in you will find 
Every reason why I love you 

You give me all the meaning afresh of 
Old dreams and hopes gone a sour 
Unfolding with each day is the reason Why I love you

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
