You're a poem.
All of my poems of you
are merely attempts

God knew that I needed more clarity in my life, so he sent a poet.
You are capable of such profundity, D'Anthra and such humor. What a mixture you are of mystifying parts and often times a disconcerting variety of levels as well. You are adorable as well as aggravating. After all though and after it all, you inspire me. I cannot begin to imagine what and how life would have been had we not met - had we not attached to each other as we have. It is a great reward. I am happy to know that it is for you as well.
