LOVE LOVE LOVE a Poem

This poem was published in the India Times and has been read many thousands of times. Fans placed it on their blogs and it is also one of my most commented poems on the internet.

LOVE LOVE LOVE
------------------------
i wish to be the air you breathe
love that floods your every cell
revitalising you, cheering you up
every second of your life

i love like the rush of the Nile, Yangtze -
listen, listen to this lovelorn heart,
holding on, letting go, holding on
with such tenacity to the hope
of every lovelorn night

an eclipse helps distill my love for you,
seals your charms, allure from the
craving prying eyes of world,
precipitates that momentuous silhouette,
escapade for me and you
sun and moon, ying and yang
to be totally absorbed in bliss, in each other

love, love, love if only i could be the only star
to win your fancy for that sparkling while
heaven the world would become

Daniel Partlow (8/23/2007 5:55:00 PM) Beautiful work. Here is my love poem. I tried using the Raven's challenging rhyme pattern: http: //www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-is-105/ Even though it didn't quite fit, the result was good enough to inspire me to move on to my second (and still my best work: SUNRISE ON THE MOUNT) : http: //www.poemhunter.com/poem/sunrise-on-the-mount/
