How Do I (an excerpt from the upcoming book: Words of a Romantic and Tortured Soul)

How Do I

"How do I love thee?

Let me count the ways..."

Begins an old poem

I cannot count the ways

I love thee

For they are too many

And too myriad

All I can do

Is to list a few

In the hopes

That you may know

I love thee:

Devotedly

Unashamedly

Passionately

Unreservedly

Unrelentingly

Deeply

Ecstatically

Trustingly

Lovingly

Graciously

Harmoniously

Internally

Externally

Excitedly

And most importantly

I shall love you

Eternally
