The Ultimate Expression
Your lips seduce me
Your eyes entrance me
Your smile makes me catch my breath
A symphony of love all rolled into one
With a voice overflowing with love
With seductive charm
Your voice melts my heart
I tremble at your tender touch
The word “love” doesn't seem to do it justice
There must be some other phrase
Perhaps yet to be invented
For thousands and thousands of years
Poets have struggled to describe
What humans have experienced through the centuries
Since the dawn of civilization
And we are still searching
In the meantime, the simple phrase,
“I love you” will have to suffice
It's been repeated an untold number of times
Yet it is still the ultimate expression of love
