your gentle love

i would end it all,

but your eyes are my heaven,

and i couldn't be so sacrilegious.

my love for you is not a flame,

it doesn't flicker or waver,

it isn't changed by the wind,

rather my rather for you is an ocean;

my love spans deep and far across.

i love your way of loving;

loving softly,

loving peacefully,

the patience you hold in your hands so mellow and humane.

you hold me easy and tender;

i love your gentle loving.

your sweet-tempered eyes glisten under the gaze of mine,

i wish i knew the motivation behind all the times you choose to look at me.

stillness and lull is all that surrounds us.

i'll hold you close to me, as i know you'd do the same.

we lay in comfort and we listen to the pouring rain,

i can hear your heart beating,

you say each beat of your heart beats for my heart only,

as you cradle my head to your chest.

i feel our souls tie together.

the light shines different when you're here.

you're gentle with your actions,

you're gentle with your words.

your patient and tender loving will never cease to make me feel what love is truly meant to be like.

the gravity of love bearing on me.

you have the love of a thousand hearts.

I really love this piece especially your last stanza. remarkable write

[Ern M. Yoshimoto]

let me be the first to say (on this site at least) this guy is a keeper. most boys are not gentle like that, and a gentle person is someone you really want to grow old with. there are more exciting options, but people like that will only hurt you. and i've seen this so many times - i've had many female friends permanantly changed because of a mild case of badboy-complex.
on the writing itself - it is sincere, melodic, and full of pathos. please save this work somewhere you can stumble upon many years from now, and remind yourself how you felt the moment you wrote it. trust me, that is worth doing.
