These Simple Words
‘Love you’
Oft used words
Delivered with ease
Across the skies
Laden with emotions
Teeming with hopes
Longed for dreams.
‘Love you’
Speaks their truths
But not enough
Never enough to convince
To convey the depths
Of desire and yearning
Reaching across to you.
‘Love you’
Gently proffered
Vessel of tender wishes
Makes its way to you
A promise of forever
A call for assurance
Of love’s true path.
‘Love you’
What more to be said
Of the alone heart
In search of itself
Beyond the seas, intimate
Claiming a purity
Seeking its truth.
‘Love you’
Hold them lightly
These simple words
They contain my heart
My soul’s longing
For you and I
Us.
