How I Love You

I love your eyes
Because they see beyond
What others see.
I love your smile
Because it brings sunshine
To my life.
I love your hands
Because in them
I find comfort and trust.
I love your heart
Because yours is one
That understands
And accepts me
For who I am.
I love your face
For the joy it brings
To my heart.
I love your voice
For the loving words
You say to me.
I love your touch
For how it soothes me
In troubled times.
I love your gentle ways
For the harmony
It brings in my life.
I love your lips
For the great joy of expectation
And the satisfaction they always bring.
I love your embrace
For the warmth
And refuge I seek.
I love your tenderness
For the peace
It brings my soul.
I love your love
For the beautiful
Difference it has made.
And the best part of all—
I love how
You’re the beginning
Of all that I’ve longed for.

    Beautiful. Your poems always have very deep expression & I feel that I can relate to every one. This also reminds me of my ex...but now that were just 'friends' it's so hard not to love everything about him.

        I do think it should be about a person as a whole. I for one like it when someone takes the time to talk with me, for once they do it is more then just young and pretty there is a brain in there too, and a loving and giving heart.

          For me, a thinking woman, someone I can talk with is the ultimate. I'm not interested in a so called "dumb blonde" or a just a body.

    I was feeling a little down before this but then when I read your poem, it totally lifted me up like how true love and life really is and for what it's worth. I'm sure whoever you wrote it for would have loved it and loved you very much. Keep writing, and let nothing stop you!

    This is the sort of piece

    that makes your heart lighter. When we find the one it either takes forever to know it's them or we know in the times it takes to draw in a breath. Well done thank you for entering.

    Beautiful Repetition

    You have done a excellent job, I enjoyed the read. Oh yes, you have just reminded me of Elizabeth B. Browning and her work from long ago. You counted the ways, and done it so well. Thank you for sharing a piece of your heart with us all..........novy

    So Romantic and passionate and accepting of all things about her. What a treasure this would be to get such emotions about yourself from a "Hopeful Romantic" good job!

    Wow this is so romantic and simply beautiful Its always a great thing to let someone know how you feel about them, people tend not to do that to much anymore, and this is something any woman would love to get. Excellent poem

      Thank you for your comments. I wanted to write a poem that said, "How I Love You" in ways that described that love toward the whole person. It's sort of like, "How Do I Love Thee, Let Me Count the Ways" but a modern version.

    this poem caresses the emotional part of the woman and the poem is a quick read that is very passionate. i would ease up on the capitalization on the first part of each line though.

    wow! now what does a gal have to do to create this type of emotion in someone who doesn't even know she exists? that information is more valuable to me than the winning lottery ticket. good luck in this contest you have entered. viyanna rosemarie
