State of constant confusion!

I scouted tenemants of verse today
To see if I could find
A crystal version of love so pure
To parallel my mind
Through Shakespeare's sonnets
And Keats' enchanting despair
I discovered no comparison
To the feelings that I bear
Coleridge, Byron and Kipling
Not one of their songs rejoice
The feeling you evoke in me
When I hear your voice
My alphabet is empty
Blank verse describes it best
Words could never capture
Your warmth and lovliness
Intense sensations are free
Some things should never be captured
Let them float and fly and pass you by
Just relish in their rapture
So, Darling, my sweet
Although i tried to look
I hold more for you than can be described
By any poem in a book

I see your heart shines with love tonight, my friend.  Very beautiful verse.  I know she'll appreciate this one.  

All writing comes
by the grace of God.

I really love these lines, well I do like the rest too actually.
