Loving you is as pure as the snow in winter.
Sweet as the air in spring.
Bright as the sun in summer.
Beautiful as the leaves in fall.

Loving you fulfills me.
Your love is real to me.
Loving you excites my soul.
Your love makes my life whole.

Hello Lamar

Although I get what you say in your poem, it fails to evoke strong imagery in me. Not that it's written poorly, it just lacks strong metaphor... Poetry should stir someone's memory, and to do that the poet must use the unconventional. For instance, if you wanted someone to remember the word car, don't park the car in the driveway, but hang it in a tree. It's unconventional, and that's what people never forget Hope this helps get my point across... Kosmic888
