How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, -- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! -- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
Do you believe you can love a person this much?....

Robert Browning wrote this and it is probably the ULTIMATE love poem next to "roses are red and Violets are blue"
the answer, oh very much so. and when it happens, LORDY, you feel it from your head to your toes.
The song "Bubbly" really says it all.

well chosen refrain. perfect meter, me still have to do with the internal beat, because, matching syllables count doesn't always mean steady internal beat. for example: in the line : "Closing within, uttering sighs." requires readers' effort to figure the phonetic pattern that would make the proper beat flow . In this type of subjects, the singular form of body parts would suffice for the plural [ ex:, eye>eyes, ear>ears, hand> hand], and the part would suffice for the whole mass [ finger > hand, hand> body]. so, if you want to keep "strict" rhyme, taking the "s" out of "eyes" would do it. flow of images : * powerful first stanza. * beautiful second stanza. * Nice third stanza..nice flow of image, in general. you could have used more powerful language [wording] for a better flow for the first four lines. the last two lines flowed nicely, and made a sensational ending. Scrap the above! delete it!! it is fantastic poem, ms. DAHha. t.y. P.S. Cilla's comment reminded me of the French Literature. me would have said that myself!

Absolutely!
The sun rises and sets on your true love, it happens, have faith, because it makes you feel like nothing else in the world, no drug can duplicate it.

Yes I do. And the people who find someone they can love this much are the truly lucky ones.

I want to believe that. I hope more than anything that if it's true, I find it. That kind of love would be amazing. I believe I could love someone like that.
