More Than Myself

This is my love poem for Vaentines day. It was written for my love Liz.




                 More than myself

If every moon beam
Touching your lovely face  
      Was a reflection of my love for you

And every lunar ripple                                        
        On the surface of every sea
     Were expressions of my love

It would still not be enough
For me to show how much 
    You mean to me

The deepest reaches of the farthest seas
        Can not express how deep
   My love for you is my Lion Queen

The lofty peaks of the highest mountains
        Would be far below my heart 
  as it is carried on the wings of your love

And the vast icy void of space and time
        Cannot express the empty coldness
  I would feel if I were to loose you

My being is warmed by the sun of your presence
        As are the seeds of life
  Warmed by the first loving  rays of spring

And like the mighty humbleness of life giving waters
        I will always seek the lowest point
  And place you above myself and all other desires

I need you like the wind needs direction
      I love you like the hawk loves the sky
  You consume me as fire does wood 
      You better me as spirit does soul

I give thanks in the morning evening
     And all points between
  To the one who made this possible
      for you and I

And now I give thanks to the one most deserving
     Of my loving attentiveness
  The one who both graces and challenges my life 
      With your fiery spirit

For you or the one 
    I love more than myself
  These being the highest of feelings
     I’ve ever felt
