    a story book

    I have signaled to all the world my intent
    my resolve to love this lady of my dreams
    to shout my love without regret and vent
    to all who hear my heart’s desire and schemes.

    then let loose the words that bind her heart
    give up whatever bonds there were on you
    make fast the ties that steady love’s rampart
    prepare then affection’s state of one for two.

    there are no words for such a book to tell
    in a meaningful way how deeply runs
    desire within my heart must surely spell
    word upon word how much I love this one.

     in this book are the words that tell you this -
    my world depends upon her offered kiss.

    This is really very beautiful. I especially like the way it wraps up. I love the feeeling the last three lines evoke.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
