I love you more than the ocean loves the water in it. I love you more than a flower loves the sunshine that makes it glisten. I love you more than the hawk loves the wind that empowers him.
Is an ocean an ocean without the waters that fill it? You are the water that imbues me with purpose and makes me who I am.
Can a flower grow and bloom without the sunshine that nourishes it? Can its petals be enjoyed without the rays that make it shine? You make me flourish. Your radiance is the light behind my every smile.
Can a hawk fly without the wind beneath his wings, raising him towards the blue sky? Can he enjoy true freedom without the graceful, invigorating hand of the wind? You are the wind that lifts me up and delivers me to freedom. Your love lets me fly.
"You" is my second poem. It is my first free form attempt. I wrote it for a friend of mine on whom I had a crush. A lot of my inspiration comes from her. This poem was written May 23, 2010, at 1:00am.
