Simple Difficulty of Love

There are a zillion things I could say to you:
For instance I could say;
I love you more than the secret love between sun and moon,
Love of dark fiery light that eclipse in the heart of my soul,
Love that blooms my earth and ocean 
to a vortex of red life and blue love.

Or I could say:
I love you in the infinitude of divinity;
Love that smothers the stormy whispers of death,
Love which opens the skies of the celestial place
to stream the immortal spirit of eternal love in my soul.

Still, out of the zillion things I could say to you,
I find no words with the power to define my simple love for you.
And when I carefully listen to the voice of my voiceless soul,
listen to the words which closest define my eternal love for you
I need all my heart, my blood, my soul and strength
to say the words:
I love you.
