How Much I Love You....

How much I love you....

You captured my heart and I have yours by bliss,

I hold you by my heart and mine you cannot miss;

I offered myself to you and accept you for pay.

The solemn contract of my love was ratified this way

I gave you with all the freedom of pure joy,

Needing you without a reason why.
You made for me and I made for you
I am afraid to love, and yet I love you.
I am of the Wavy ocean, you are of the calm shore:

there is a wild emptiness in me; in you, a quiet core.
My voice must sing To you with more delight;

my fragrance must pour forth sweeter scent;

My thoughts must burst with greater glory;
And my eyes express a more enchanting story;
Time unfold our love story, never ending, ever green,

Years must shape a spirit more serene.

I love you with all my belongings and passion I use

Smiles, tears, joy and sadness, whatever you choose,
With all my senses,--I love you with the breath,

and, if God permits, I shall but love you still after death.
