Loving with All I am
Dear Mavis, I do not love in passing sighs, Nor lend my heart in measured ties. I love the way the ocean moves, Unending, deep, in quiet grooves. I love with mornings in my chest, With breath that fights and finds no rest Unless it speaks your name aloud, A prayer beneath a sky unclouded. I love with all the years I've known, With every scar my soul has grown. Each joy, each ache has taught me this: To hold you close is boundless bliss. I do not love with just a glance, But with my blood, my circumstance. My laughter, fears, and quiet tears I shed. You have them all, through all my years. So if you ask what love I give, I give you all: my life, my soul, my heart. Love, B
