Why should I bother if the sun should die,
The darkness reign and drain away the air?
Because ev’n Eden’s garden in the sky
Would turn to barren hell without you there.
Why should I be concerned about tomorrow,
How many gruesome months and years have passed?
Without your breath, I’m drowned in waves of sorrow
And feel as though it would forever last.
You are the gears and screws that synchronize
The flaming circulation in my veins,
A clockwork heart, where fiery passions rise,
Yet tightly bound by love’s unyielding chains.
Oh please, my dear, do not leave me alone!
I love you more than any heart has known.
More than anything
More than anything, Father I love you more
More than I can imagine
More than anything, More than anything
I love you more than anything;
I love you more than everything
Everything you do;
Everything is true
I am so in love with you;
Father I do, honestly ever so do, love you;
I love you more than anything
You are more than my everything
I love you more than a husband, than a wife
More than my parents, children and friends
You are my mine life
And I am, I am that I am so heavenly bless

Though you say it is
Heart felt I refuse to
Acknowledge
Nights of
Yearning and
Emptiness alone
So
That I may
Earn a
Rendezvous with you at the break of
Dawn I know your
Answer will be
Yes to the Rendezvous for you were
Yearning too
Oh oh oh
Do I love my soul more than my heart
Does my love spill over the top
Will the blood flow continue to drop, stop
I am alive
I am alive
I like to use words like victory
I like to use words like I'm sorry
I like to use words about heart
But when I stop my talking I am wroth
My mind turns straight to soul
As my temperature begins to boil
People around me say what's up, oh!
I'm alive
I'm a!ive
Do I love you're so more than your heart
Do I love your soul more than your heart
I like to hang out with John I like to keep back with Jane
But when left alone my mine turned straight towards the soul
What's wrong, what's going on
But I just think back to the song
And I'm happy once again cuz I got Jesus
I am alive
I am alive

Those seasons,
Have come and gone;
And so have I;
~
Alas, I love you beyond;
Why? because I just do;
Whom, am I to say;
~
Shalt I ever go away;
Physically sure;
But yet my hearts pure;
~
And in the springtime;
One of the solstice changing;
dawn comes free,
Winters fallen behind me;
~
and I've loved you before the buddings
and I've loved you beyond the trees
and I've loved you before the harvest
and I've loved you before autumn
Before the falling's of the leaves
and I've loved you in dew season before spring you see...
Alas, I love you beyond;
Why? because I just do;
Whom, am I to say;
~
Shalt I ever go away;
Physically sure;
But yet my hearts pure;
this much I am sure
I love you more than nature

Chocolate, we all know does not last.
It's a moment's gratification that
goes by way all too fast.
Neither must I go to find you at the
store,
you Olympian god!
There you are in your terry-cloth
robe.
Always a sight for me to behold.
You are too big to be stolen and
put in a thief's pocket.
But I have a picture of you, right
here in my rose gold locket.
You are far from costly, this I
know.
Yes, it's you, I am addressing!
My precious, deepest love and
lifetime beau!

I gave it my all to overcome
These mental illnesses one by one
This constant struggle felt by some
The silent killer, a fight rarely won
I gave it a shot to live and love
To follow the signs I was sent from above
It all fell apart when push came to shove
Before my own eyes, it turned to dust
I gave up myself and my own piece of mind
Let go of it all, only to find
You gave up on me and left me behind
We both know it wasn’t a waste of time
I ran out of steam
Depression took over
Now I’m all alone
Good luck staying sober
You know that I’m weak
Mental illness destroys me
I may never quite recover
Rios my only destiny
I love her more than life itself
D.R.L.
I can’t fall asleep, I don’t want to sleep,
Being awake is so much more fun,
As at last reality outdoes all my dreams,
Now I have found my number one,
With a beautiful smile, voice, and a laugh,
Beautiful eyes into her soul,
I’m staying awake to absorb all her love,
Enjoying the passionate stroll.
You see, before I met her, I was a little bit fake,
Smiles were forced from my face,
And I’d enjoy drifting off to sleep every night,
Drift off from my lovely mistakes,
But now, when she lies flush beside me,
My love comes from somewhere down deep,
And I’m caught in this beautiful moment of us,
Much better than falling asleep.
"I love you more than the thought alone knows of love before the conscious mind new love existed within the same thought to love."
I know that are hearts don't beat the same
I know we are both playing a different game
I probably love you more than you will ever no
I'm probably missing u more than you would ever think so
We know it's love and that's all that matters
But on different levels my hearts in shatters
I care, I dare a dream thats long
To keep this love forever strong
Thousand years! Thousand years it is
Long living like the undying breeze
Deep down my self, deep down my ease
In the thick bark of my heart a love does exist
Thousand years ago
There exist for my mood, a flower that glows
Regulating my heartbeat and blood flow
Raising my guts up and down, in rows
Making my emotions like trumpets blow
Thousand years! Oh so long many years
And I can still feel the pricks of her lovely spear
And the scent of her placating presence, like roses very rare
Oh thousand years, and the love still exist, yes!
I still love you, till forever nonetheless
I love you more than chocolate
Your actions are so sweet
I think you are a super guy and one I’d love to meet
Tall or short, dark or fair it matters not to me
I think you are amazing and other people here agree
I’ve told my hubby all about you
He thinks your poems are really cool
My hubby he’s a diamond - a very precious jewel
So when you’re on your world tour just take a little time
To meet up for a cup of tea – I think we’d get on fine
19th November 2015
Driving down the road going mile after mile
I couldn't help but remember your beautiful smile.
My job keeps me gone most of the time
so you got a job at the local five-n-dime.
I tell her...
I love you more than chocolate...
your kisses taste so sweet.
I can hardly wait to get back home,
you make my life complete.
My trucker friends all laugh at me.
They think I've lost my mind
cause I use to see a lot of gals, but left that all behind.
One look from her was all it took, to set my heart ablaze.
Now I'm no longer searching or walking in a daze...cause
I love her more than chocolate...
her kisses taste so sweet.
I can hardly wait to get back home,
she makes my life complete.
When time goes by and we grow old,
on the porch we'll sit...
I'll take your hand...hold it close...then kiss you on the lips.
Tell you how much I cherish you...
this life I wouldn't miss...cause
I love you more than chocolate...
your kisses taste so sweet.
I can hardly wait to start each day.
You've made my life complete.

Dear Mama,
I can’t believe this time has come
When you’ve always been the one
To comfort me and help me to see and believe
That everything will work out for the best
Now, it is my turn to say to you, dear Mama,
Everything will turn out ok and you will be fine
Even if you must meet Jesus tonight
I know your heart is right and you trust in the One
Who is God’s one and only Son.
You know I don’t know how I will go on
Without you here to support and encourage me
You’ve always done your job so perfectly
Making me feel like I could always come to you
Dear sweet Mama, How I will miss you if you should go.
Only you can know that this love I have for you
Goes beyond the depths of my heart to my soul
Dear Mama, how I love you and want to tell you…
You are the most important person in the world to me
I love you more than anything
Maybe the last letter poetry contest

Dear Jesus… I Love You More Than ANYTHING!
Dear Jesus… I love you more than anything!
You’re so wonderful!
You’re my everything!
Dear Jesus… I bring worship to your name!
Your power and majesty,..
I do proclaim!
Dear Jesus… I worship you in your majesty!
Not knowing you would
be a tragedy!
Dear Jesus… It is you that I honor and adore!
You bring love to my life and so much more!
Dear Jesus… How I love you so much!
Each day I long for your special touch!
Dear Jesus… You’re a blessing day and night!
And have brought peace

Dear Jesus… Thanks for redeeming my soul!
For cleansing and

The one l want to be with
