I have loved you..

A man's undying love from the first moment their eyes met.

From the moment our eyes first touched
Lost in pools of green and blue
In that moment when all else was laid quiet
I had loved you.

Under blacken skies, sheeted in tempered dark
In the still of the undisturbed morning
When all else rests quiet in a peaceful hush
I have loved you.

When slumbered breath rises and falls tranquil
Softly and peacefully unaware in treasured gaze
When love is precious, and without bounds
I have loved you.

In the magic of loves first caress
Surrendered serene under genteel hands
When hearts lay delicately in open adoration
I have loved you.

When lips first touched in tender kiss
Giving breathless thrill to beating hearts
In that moment, when love was left to linger
I have loved you.

When, in gentle pace I took you in my arms
And held you tenderly in sweet embrace
When hearts spoke in impassioned voice
I have loved you.

In the years that have come and gone
From love's first embrace, until it's last
And all of the moments, treasured between
I have loved you.

In those moments of tears, painful, joyful.
Under the weight of life's heavy paced rush
When all hope, fleeting, has failed you...
I will love you.

And when I have lost what is left of you
Betroth to the Lord's beckoning hand
When others forget, and your memory fades.
I will still love you.

This is absolutely beautiful. True love at its finest. Even when the memories are gone...still love. Excellent work..xx

The second to last stanza really captured the romance for in troubled times is when we truely feel the strength of love knowing we can face anything as long as we have each other. Beautifully done, keep em' coming

Tender and sensual. That's the way I love these poems because of the emotions being expressed. "I love you" are words but when actions prove it, then it makes all the difference.

Absolutely Breathtaking! This "infinite love", you so wonderfully captured, is timeless. If only, everyone could experience this adoration, the world would be a better place...

Very sweet and romantic. Although I must confess I'm not the best judge of such things. "I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling cross the floor of silent seas" old hermit crab that I am! (smile)

"In the years that have come and gone
From love's first embrace, until it's last
And all of the moments, treasured between
I have loved you."

Tender and beautiful!

This is what love is all about. So beautifully expressed with deep tenderness, emotion, conveys the real power of love that is so over looked by most.
Everyone should be loved like this. You are an amazing writer. :)

Wow, this is a REALLY good write. It is both rich and delicate in the language, very vivid, gorgeously descriptive, tender in the understated and neat structure, and also very unusual in the expression. There is no cliche here whatsoever, yet it is classically, almost breathily, romantic. The first two verses in particular are SUPERB, "Under blackened skies, sheeted in tempered dark, in the still of the undisturbed morning, when all else rests quiet in a peaceful hush...." is just one example of really gorgeous, evocative, original use of language. I also like how disciplined the structure and scansion are, the even verse and line length is perfect to give the poem authority, but also divides into neat chunks, each one complete unto itself, which really gives the poem tightness as well. Really well written and well thought out. Favoriting this!!

Absolutely beautiful! I love the way you convey feelings... So deep and intricate, yet somehow, so simple. The progression flowed in such a lovely way. Wow.
