Valentine For Gypsy

Words are
inadequate
to express
how I truly feel
perhaps
the lyrics
of love songs
speak best
the harmony
of my heart

I could search
the annals
of poetry
poring pages
of timeless
prose romantic
and fail yet
to find
a passage
worthy
of you

In your midst
time stands still
and I mark
the measure
of moments
by the quickening
of my pulse
staccato
semaphores
of my love
for you

As a candle
feeble pales
before the
incandescence
of the sun
to portray
my emotions
as merely love
is the apex
of mockery
semantic

When I gaze
entranced
into your eyes
twin hazel
limpid pools
reflect
an image
witnessed
never before
and I feel
accepted
complete

No one
knows me
as you do
for I have
never allowed
another
as close
as you have
ventured
I have lowered
my guard
and enpledged
to you
my trust

You have entered
my world
with angelic intent
accompanied
by joy
the euphoric smile
upon my face
tangible proof
of the wondruous
happiness
to which you've
introduced me

Rest assured
of my love
be it eros
or agape
the feelings
which
I harbor
for you
are not mine
to surrender
I am
in their bond
held captive

My Gypsy
I could never
leave you
could never
abandon
your love
to do so
would be
to abort
my life
as at long last
it finally begins

Doubt
is a demon
whose spectre dark
haunts memories
both sweet
and acidic
catalyzing
foolish fears
it frees
needless tears
to flow
in futile
saline course

Let anxiety
be banished
all concerns
be dispelled
worry not
that you
need ever
earn
my love

For nothing
you can do
could ever
inspire
greater
ardor
and of deeds
and actions
there
are none
that could
ever cause me
to love you less
