Loving you in Silence

Just another poem speaking in silence

How do I love you let me count the ways,
stealing lines for amateurs so give Shakespeare his plays.

I love you like the corn the breeze,
like wasps the fruits of laden trees
and flowers sought by courting bees,

I love you.

I love you like the ebb needs flo,
like forests need the sun to grow
and you're the rain in my rainbow,

I love you.

I love you like a child and then,
like you've never known from other men
and If only you could my heart ken,

I love you.

I love you like a silent night,
like hearts with wings first tasting flight
and every time you hold me tight,

I love you.

so do not ask why nor fret or cry
nor let your doubts in words now fly
just know that all alone I'd die

because

I love you.

Author's Note

I can never speak the words that express wholey the love I feel

Your voice remends me of Andrew Marvell though gotta love the EBB reference, I've tried that a couple of times myself :P

I like the calm simplicity in this, moreover.

heartfelt, the message in echoes repeated....
Very nice write!

the changes work..super piece of writing..

its unusual to use this type of rhyme in a serious piece of writing..I am not sure if I get the first half, but as you progress into the second part it picks up for me..actually it's good that you have turned limericks on their head..I take it back..experimental is interesting.. and limericks are hard to get right..you nailed the rhyme and meter perfectly
