Why I Love you

Hold not back as these words reach for your heart;
Let the words work more than their usual worth;
Drink, let the taste linger, goodness impart;
Let your mind be led where words walk earth,
Leap rivers and oceans and become dreams,
Ride the romance, dance in candlelight,
Let words join breast and chest under moonbeams,
Say my name as I say yours holding tight,
Let my name enter as yours enters me.
Hold not back as these words reach every part,
Let the words work more than the melody
As words enter and excite and good-love impart.
Let the words of my mouth, my pen, my all,
Every letter, every sound, win your soul.

Just Asking

"Why do you love me?"

Hold not back as these words reach for your heart;
Let the words work more than their usual worth;

"Come on tell me why you love me!" - Hold on.

Drink, let the taste linger, goodness impart;
Let your mind be led where words walk earth,

"OK come down to earth and tell me"

Leap rivers and oceans and become dreams,

"If you tell me why you love me" - Want to

Ride the romance, dance in candlelight?

"Do you love me? - tell me why!" - Hold on.

Let words join breast and chest under moonbeams,

"So you love me but why?"

Say my name as I say yours holding tight,
Let my name enter as yours enters me.

"Why do you love me so?"

Hold not back as these words reach every part,

"Every part? You love every part of me?" Yes.

Let the words work more than the melody

"Yes the words, that you love every part of me."

As words enter and excite and good-love impart.

"You excite me with your words "

Let the words of my mouth, my pen, my all,
Every letter, every sound, win your soul.

just asking

David,

You've got great talent with words. I read your piece each line and between each line more than once but could not find those lines that would support nor give emphasis to your title. Any way, I like the way you express your thoughts.
