How Shall I Say I Love You

How Shall I Say I Love You
 
My Darling Love, how shall I say I love you?
You know I do, but how can portray this to you in words?

Let me try My Dear One—

With a Smile when I think often of the sheer radiance of your beauty.
With Thoughts which I have of you daily and the sweet things you do.
With Emotions ripe and afire when I think of the pure passion we have.

With my Inner Psyche when I get in touch deeply with my ethereal self.
With my Eyes as I gaze into your eyes with noble tears of joy and love.
With my Touch as I hold and caress you in my arms and share my love. 

With my Heart which is the driving force of my love and emotion for you.
With my Laughter that helps to lighten even the most trying situations.
With my Prayers which reflect my connection to God and belief in you. 

With my Spoken Words which reflect my true heartfelt emotions for you.
When Holding your Hand at anytime on any day for no particular reason.
When Walking with you day or night at anytime, anyplace, or anywhere.

When Writing Poetry since you are always my special inspiration and muse.
With my unbridled love and respect for you as a warm and loving person.
With my warm inner feeling for all of the special things we do together.
                           
My Final Thought: As imperfect and inarticulate as I surely am, at times—
My Darling Love these are some special inner-felt notions and emotions 
reflecting always my view of you and feelings for you as the most important
person in this world to me. My true love always and forever.

and feelings on my inner canvas of emotions."
