Loving you

Dedicated to CY
 
I love you      
I know not how to adequately express      
What      
These three words are meant to convey      
I love thee      
Still      
Not adequate enough      
     
Every part of me loves thee      
Mayhap      
This is too intimate for me to put      
                   To words      
                              A phrase      
               Far easier to convey      
                        My passion for      
                                      Your touch      
My longing      
         To caress      
                     Along the length and breadth      
        Of thee      
                 Have all of you      
                               On      
                           All of me      
                               You      
                            Inside      
                                Me      
                           tightly fitting      
As tightly as two can be      
                          Entwined      
                                        Holy      
                    Sacred      
Sacrosanct rites as old as humankind      
   Bound in blood by flesh in seed      
        By soul in musk by sweat in      
             Pain by transcendent      
                         Joy      
This      
Effort      
To      
Write      
Love      
Hurts      
   Feels woefully inadequate      
              Words: meaningless void      
     
We love enough to be free together      
                            Free      
To explore others      
To communicate wholly      
                            Completely      
To always be each other as we are for ourselves and for each other      
     With you I am not stifled      
I do not pretend to something I am not      
        To someone I cannot be      
            I am, simply, me      
              And you accept      
                   And love      
              As I accept you      
                   And love      
I never thought could be this way      
            You are the miracle      
                 Within my life      
                      My heart      
                       My soul      
         You helped to set me free      
From constraints binding me so tightly      
I could not breathe freely, yet I feared this was how I had to live, had to be, that none would ever know or accept me just as I am      
                      Then      
                           Along you came      
Unbeknownst to me, you were my bruised and battered knight and I, your not so maidenly, Joan of Arc      
Nor so virtuous, pious, or pure      
                                           No matter      
I battle by your side      
                       And you have me there      
               We two      
              Have I told thee      
                   How I love you?
