I Loved You With My Essence



I loved you as a rainbow reflecting showers in the spring...
I loved you as a butterfly giving fragrant flowers wing...
I loved you as a redbreast-robin's melody did sing...
I loved you with my essence more than life or anything.

I loved you as a newborn coming forth from mother's womb...
I loved you as a bride when you first looked upon your groom...
I loved you as a loved one who placed flowers on your tomb...
I loved you with my essence more than time itself had room.

I loved you with my essence when I died upon a tree...
I loved you with my essence so today you'll be with me...
I loved you with my essence and your spirit is now free...
I loved you with my essence more than the world could ever be.

Hmm...This almost makes me believe in things I quit believing in a long time ago.  Very nice.  

With a little piece of tomorrow,
You'll have to kiss yesterday goodbye.
Because today won't last forever,
And the past will only make you cry.

Ah Bob...this is so beautiful.  I now feel that no matter what mistakes I may make down the road, He will love me, regardless...

well done, Sir...

I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

Bob,

Simply beautiful my friend.  No matter what, He is always there . . . to pick us up and show us the way.

Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats

Lovely poem.  Written with sheer eloquence.  enjoyed the read.

"...no single sound too rude upon thy slumber shall intrude, Our thoughts, our souls-
O God above! In every deed shall mingle, love."

Thank you for reminding us why we are truly thankful!  This picture is stunning!

over the rain-green grass,

Enjoyed this,
I am a fan of using Repetition,
a good way to set the meter and feel
of the poetry
