If words could paint a picture,
A tapestry of love-
It would cover every mountain-
Indeed, the sky above.

I’d write a song so eloquent-
About my love for you,
That anyone who read it-
Would know it to be true.

But somehow words do fail me-
As I contemplate your grace,
My dear, I would be wordless,
As I gazed into your face…

You are my breath, my heartbeat-
The reason that I live-
Since words are all that I possess,
Then words are what I give.

Oh, John!  Your words do paint a picture, the only one I want.  This beautiful poem and all your love poems to me are exquisite love songs that sing like nightingales to me!  You have swept me off my feet as always!  Your words are everything to me, and such a perfect reflection of your love for me which is answered in ecstasy by mine for you.
