Do I Love Thee?

Do I love thee?

Are there countless stars,
Like ways in which I love?
Are there countless dreams,
In which to dream of?

The question asked
One too many times
For an answer
Found within our minds

Given the choice between
Thee, and the ever changing sky
How could I choose thus,
Where thoughts of you reside?

How can you quantify love?
And how can you compare?
Love seems different from points of view
Between those that love is shared

Do I love thee?

Not as a pure as a woman
Might love a man;
Yet, with all that I am

Trying to define love is something we poets adore to do ... quantifying seems impossible.

Love IS.

Loved your poetic ponderings, dear J.!

I love your comparison and questioning of the depth of love from between the sexes...the ending is beautiful and perfectly compared.

I give up.

You win.

Nice work, chalm.

Fall in love early, fall in love often.

Thank you all very much.

Paul, there is nothing to give up. You're a much, much better writer than me.
Besides, these poems of mine for the most part are ones written a decade or two ago.
