HOW DO I LOVE THEE
QUESTIONS ARE ASKED EVERYDAY ABOUT LOVE
HOW DO WE MEASURE THAT FROM ABOVE,
FOR WHAT WE CANT SEE OR OTHERWISE HEAR
DO WE REALLY KNOW THAT LOVE IS NEAR,
OR IS IT SOMETHING WE JUST WANT TO KNOW?
HOW DO I LOVE THEE CAN BE TAKEN IN PART
OR REVELATION OF REALITY IS IT TRUE TO THE HEART,
WHICH OF YOU CHOOSE TO HAVE A LIFE OF CARE
WITHOUT FIRST REALIZING LOVE'S EVERYWHERE,
UNTIL ONES HEART HAS BEEN FONDLED.
AS I HAVE WRITTEN POEMS OF LOVE BEFORE
MY INTENTIONS WERE HONEST AND NOT JUST FOR SCORE,
BUT HAS IT BEEN WRITTEN THAT POETRY IS TRUE
IF SO RESPOND AND THINK OF WHAT TO DO,
FOR NO ONE KNOWS HOW I LOVE THEE.
BY SHAWN I. TRAMMELL, SR.
