Sonnet 44....

�
�
How many ways, I love you?
Let me count them.....
�
�..seeking not to steal Elizabeth's timeless words,
an air of Shakespearean prose, goodness knows
love has stumbled upon my door
a time or two, maybe once before
�
� I once was young but now I'm old�
�
yet my heart and soul lack self control
and my ability to reason has all but faded away
I torment myself, not knowing....
�
...whether or not to trust my heart, what to or not to say
�
� I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.....�E.B.B.
�
Agape....holistically �
loving you in spite of yourself; �
good and bad-never judging, �
simply loving you, just because
�
our Sibling Love, �
though not of the same blood, �
we �
are of the same , special kind.
Is solace anywhere �
more comforting than �
in the arms of my sister?
Oh a love so sublime...
�
�.every time that I touch your hand
the feeling, that love which transcends �
everything that I am
and I feel safe and secure
�
and still, my Eros heart wants a part of you......
�
�.in a strangely incestuous way. �
Regrettably regretful �
that inside my deepest, �
most kaleidoscopic dreams
there is such allure, a presence
this feeling
between you and me
undenied
�
I like your smile.... :-)
�
...all the words you never speak
feeling the body tingle electric
each and every time you sit �
close to me
�
wanting so badly to ask your permission...
�
�... I just wanna spend a little time with you, ooh
With your permission
Tonight I wanna be a little me on you, oh yeah
With your permission
I wanna spend the night sleeping on you
�
With your permission
I just wanna put a little smile up you� Ro James
�
I can't trust myself �
loving you
dying of the thought of ever �
losing you...
�
�terrified to test the waters of truth
finding �
that you just might �
"not" feel the
same way that I do

�I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose.....� E.B.B.
