Literature Text

On the verge of tears,
Speaking your name
Brings peace to my heart
Like a half forgotten, yet ever sweet dream,
Bringing back memories of you...
The reasons why I love you.
Weeks pass into months,
And months remain months alone,
And yet with you, I already feel grown old.
My heart burns with gentle intensity,
Yearning for you.
Every desire, every fire in my heart,
Every shred of my soul,
Lives for you,
Breathes for you.
Your voice is a symphony
To my ears that have long been deaf 'til now.
Your face, as bright and as beautiful as the sun
To my eyes that have long been blinded to such beauty.
You are in the workmanship of my heart,
The tapestry of my soul,
And other romantic clichés,
That are overdone for a reason.
There are only so many ways to say
I love you.

This is one of your best poems so far. I particularly like the way you lead up to the last two lines.
