Words to Paper, and the Value of Expressing Emotion

In the serene quiet, I sat down;

the vivid thought of you obscured by nothing else;

And I thought…

Let me write words to be immortalized in ink, engendered from the heart, inspired by deep feelings for a loved one.

What better way to relay my heart’s stirring than through poetry? After all, a genuine expression of the heart is the best kind of gift.

Words not sweet because they were orchestrated to win you over, but words made sweet because they reign true, spurred on by feelings which permeate within me…through and through.

An inanimate object or charm of your liking could be bought, but this composition of sacred thoughts on paper, written expressively for you, is priceless;

Is one of a kind and forever yours to keep.

These words, I hope, forever resound in your mind;

Hopefully they can be forever etched in your being, and never lost like a material possession of sentimental value.

These words speak of things seen and unseen.

Lo and behold, how I see you expressed in its purest form...a description of you, in all your majesty, telling of what I feel for you.

I've yet to hear of a love song lost in a fire.

I've yet to hear of words written down or spoken from the heart being lost in a flood.

Words untarnished by time...echoing into forever, never losing their fundamental essence...the effect profound even after years of being read.

Nothing tangible...

Unmoved my mighty winds, unperturbed by torrential rainfall, not dried up by sweltering heat.

At peace.

Words meant to illumine the darkest corridors of your mind; disperse all worries, lay to rest all doubts, and lay to waste all fears.

I sat down today, put words to paper, consumed by nothing else…only thoughts of you.

By using the memories you have, those timeless jokes you share, and even nicknames, a romantic and honest poem is created. The ideas, the photo background, and even the style- besides the order of words, you have everything available to show your love!
