Love Poem: Quantify

Quantify

How much do I love you? 
Defies to be measured by devices of man, 
Nor gauged by time or calendar span; 
Assessed or totalled, correlated, 
Added, subtracted, calculated. 
For the depth and breadth of all I feel, 
Too vast to express the broad appeal, 
Is greater than the total mass 
Of all to come and all to pass.

How much do I love you? 
Exceeds the full universal term, 
No empirical evidence to confirm; 
Describe or devolve, disseminate, 
Divide, multiply, evaluate. 
For the long and short of all my care 
Dissents to liken or compare; 
The heart and soul of you and I, 
Too fabulous to quantify.
