My Lady - My Valentine

I loveth thine hair,
and thine skin so fair.
I loveth thine eyes,
which tell no lies.
I loveth thine nose,
with it's shining tip,
and most of all,
I loveth thine lips,
for love is spoken there.

I loveth the wind,
which rustles thine hair,
and kisses thine lips.
I loveth the sun,
which peeks from clouds,
giving thee warmth,
and lighting thine day.
I loveth the trees,
that line the walk,
and whisper,
you've passed their way.

I loveth thine person,
from head to foot,
I loveth thine ways,
thine gaze,
and all at which thee look.

That I might touch that
which thee have,
that I might hold that,
which thee love,
that thy might see me,
in thine sleep,
that thy might love me,
just a week.

Oh lovely one,
of infinite grace,
can'st I gaze upon thy face,
without the fear
of sharp respite,
as I confess my love,
each day,
and night.

Ah, my lady -
'tis my heart,
this Valentine,
enabling these words
of mine -

Be mine,
Please be mine,


mine Valentine

Ahhh . . . You really poured it on with this one, and I am not saying that except to say I loved this Valentine's Day poem.

quote:
Be mine,
Please be mine,


mine Valentine


I loved the ending . . .

This is the kind of Valentine I like, hand written, up close-personal-one of a kind.
Real-not like the Hallmark um poop.

Thanks for posting it J
