I Cannot Explain

Post by Jon | Posted in Poetry | Posted on October 19th, 2007

I cannot explain how it prospers and grows
roiling, bubbling, churning and seething
the love that wells up from the depths of my soul
my love, what phrase?
what sentence or speech
could I say so you could possibly see
how wide, how high, how long and how deep
is my love – my love for thee
for words it defies and description denies
though it permeates the whole of my self
surely only God could possibly know
the innumerable vaults of its wealth
for my love stretches farther than the far regions of space
and its reach is longer than time
more abundant than the stars who march without haste
brighter than a thousand Suns’ shine
thus all I would need to live for two lifetimes
in complete satisfaction and bliss
is that look in her eyes that tells me she’s mine
and one soft kiss from her lips
