There are not enough hours in this day
To share the depth and breadth of how I feel.
So many words flow, and get in the way,
For me, these emotions become surreal.
The way she touches me, and holds my hand,
Smiling such a sweet smile she shares with me.
So often I feel I do understand,
Within these emotions I am set free.
Then, the sweetest of your succulent kiss,
That simply sets my heart and soul on fire.
I know I would be forever remiss
If I did not sing of praises higher.
This is the vastness of my emotion,
Its depth and breadth more than any ocean.

Author's Note: ... I heard this as a song in my head, but ended up writing it as a sonnet.....
