My heart flutters at times even while writing poetry of rhymes,

It’s brought onto myself by internal infliction at difficult times,

Throughout years of difficult infliction I’ve progressed through,

Never as bad as some thought, it was made much better by you,

I wake each morning wrapped in your essence proving I belong,

Each morning of my life I have woke to hear songbirds in song,

It’s not for me they sing but from companionship of a true angel,

Gifted of His hand you’re the companion angel without a tangle,

Bound by the air once expelled of your lungs it’s a gift given me,

Some just can’t see how such air is important to me completely,

If but a tiny molecule has traveled your lungs to be shared by us,

That molecule brightens my day converting negatives to a plus,

Again I must say as I have thousands of times “I truly love you”,

It’s been said to you at least a million times multiplied by two,

I’m sincere in my love as I have been since long ago at eighteen,

Truly I must say that you’re more beautiful today than at sixteen,

Your beauty is stored within my heart as is your inner beauty too,

I know your beauty through as do I love you all the way through,

The slightest blemish upon your face is known by me completely,

It’s because I love you so much more than I have said my love to be,

And I have expressed my love to extremes when speaking of love,

For fifty years I’ve stated my love written in rhyme to heaven above,

My heart will beat in rhythm for you and in my final days uneven too,

Forever nears it’s exit as time rushes by, I am more in love with you.
