No Room For Doubt


pretty please...
   wonder not whether 
      my love for you is 
         24-karat gold. 
            it is!
               glittering 
just like so in my eyes
   each time i whisper...
     "I love you" 
         softly into your ear...
            foxgloves n o d 
               and blare their trumpets
and nightingales
   sing into the breeze
      for they know it to be 
         so true. 
            by now, 
               i must've told you so
a thousand or more times. 
   do believe my love 
      wholeheartedly
         because.... 
            to question how much
               or second-guess it
would be to break 
   every piece of my heart.
      darling, 
         you needn't ask for verification, 
            for my fingers write.... 
              "I love you" 
with each touch on your skin. 
   p l u n g e into my eyes! 
      don't you see... 
         the crimson embers 
            of my love in them? 
               you don't feel the warmth 
of my smile? 
   to be sure there is 
      no room for doubt,
         I'll reassert, yes, my sweet, 
            i couldn't love you more,
               sincerely
