I love you

Just a lost love poem from November 1993

                                I love you

I love you more than the morning sunrise.
I love you more than all my dreams I hold dear.

When I'm encircled in the shine of your brown eyes.
I can see all the beauty in my world.
I can see the birds flying free.
The dancing sea uncontrolled and wild.
I can see the trees. Alive and strong.
Reaching for God.

Your tender kisses and soft embraces had taught me
to leave yesterday behind.

Your love had guided me to see beyond the sadness and the darkness.
You are my joy and reasons for being alive.
Your sweet kisses take my breath away.

Leaving me hopeful and dreaming of longs nights
and days filled with laughter and you near.

I love you more than my own life.

Old poetry hidden in old journals. Some deserve to come alive on the internet.

Oh my, oh my, oh my .I love to love a good poem about love. You melted my heart away with this. So beautiful on so many levels and this love you speak of is so universal. I am so happy you found this hidden within your old journals. It brought me so much joy. I love you like the love in this poem, even though I don't know you, to see the love in your heart, and know you are a fellow human existing in this world as I am, I love you just like that. Wow. So beautiful!

Glad this came to be shared, again. I ponder the joy of a sneak peek into this treasure box you have put away, a box filled with a gathering of thoughts and feelings and words, tender emotions that seek to find validation.

Splendid job on this love poem. Very romantic and heartfelt. Love is everything. Love goes much further than hate. Hate scars and causes more pain while love blossoms more love.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree. Than you for reading and the comment.

[Black Cat Fever]

You're very welcome.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Okay, I see here again your romantic side, CP. Common words heard from a lover. LOL.

"I love you more than my own life."---This one is obviously exaggerated. How many times you died then when you count those love stories from the start of your journey? LOL. Seriously speaking, many people are used to say that line which is hard to believe. But of course, in that moment that you are so much in love, you can utter words blended with your dreams and wishes (like in the word "forever").

Thanks for the share.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you for reading and the comment. Love is our best and worst days.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

Don't say love is our worst day...Love is divine. It's only the wrong choices of people that makes the situation worst. LOL

[Coyote Poetry]

I had days carrying my belongings away from love. Today the pain is forgotten. Nothing worthwhile is easy.

[Marcy Chavez]

I'm so glad that you decided to post this old poem of yours, because it is very beautiful, all the words, the feelings and the way you describe Love and how the loved person makes us feel, Love has the power of bringing the best of us and help us forget about the painful past, about our dark days.

Anyone that is in love with someone can see the difference it makes in life when you share your happiness and the things you love with that special person.
Very good poem!!

-Sincerely, Marcy.
