Why do I love you? <br />Ask why does sunset die <br />To resurrect <br />In morning dew. <br />Why gentle breeze ripples through <br />Hushed meadow. <br />Cooling the soul, elations anew. <br />Why does tempestuous sea <br />With passion unquenched <br />Through countless years <br />Keep faithful <br />Drenched <br />-In a beaming moon <br />With it's heavenly croon. <br />Why that extra star <br />That you kindled in my dreams <br />With feather light kiss <br />Burns forever it seems. <br />Why does my heart tremble <br />At your loving sigh <br />Give inner warmth <br />'Til with you I lie. <br />Love light in my darkness <br />Your brush so true <br />To paint a lonely midnight blue. <br />You kiss my heart <br />With your thoughts so soft <br />And your words heal <br />With their fragrant waft <br />That bathes my soul <br />Holds our dreams aloft. <br />When destiny for us changed hue <br />Do you still ask why I love you? . <br />At eternity in whispered ear <br />I echo <br />Not long enough to hold you near <br />-Not long enough my dear.<br /><br />Kevin East<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-do-i-love-you-24/
