Perfect Love for MY Lady Irene

a poem

Perfect love

Dan Cupid and St Valentine
Would seem to a be clueless pair
and quite unable to define.
What constitutes a love divine.

An old Greek god who's lost his way.
A celibate without a clue.
Love does not need a special day
I know much better than they do.

Why I love you and you love me.
I see no need for fairy tales.
That's why I tell you constantly
My love for you will never fail..

It's not because you do not know
My actions serve to underline
that I love you. But even so
I must repeat that you are mine

and I am yours eternally.
Three little words are all I need
Although I say them frequently
because my love we are agreed.

No day must pass without we tell
each other.Three words we love to hear.
Although we both know very well
For perfect love casts out all fear.

All that I need you can provide
You hold my heart in your small hand
My love for you I cannot hide
Your slightest wish is my command.

My only purpose is to serve.
You are the centre of my life
you give me more than I deserve.
No man could have a better wife.

We did not need St Valentine
nor yet Dan cupid and his bow.
I knew you were meant to be mine
My guardian angel told me so.

Heatfelt and unabshedly genuine and sincere.

Isn't it great to be at this stage of life, where we can pour out our deepest feelings without apology or embarrassment!

One question...why do most men wait until the fall and winter of their lives to express themselves freely...is it because in their younger days...real emtion is reserved for football?????

This is a stunning piece that really shows the depth of your love. It's so eloquent and I think most people wouldn't be able to define so many years of love so succinctly. I was speaking about whether married people can celibrate StValenines Day, I see the answer now, they could but they don't need to. Everyday spent in holy matrimony is a StValentines Day.

Just beautiful. And you are so right to say that love does not need a special day. If everyone were as forgiving as they are on your birthday; as generous as they are at Christmas; as loving as on Valentine' Day and as grateful as on Thanksgiving, we'd have a real reason to celebrate every New Year's eve. And the fireworks on the Fourth of July would be the only explosions in the streets. Yes, I know it's a pipe dream but such a nice dream. Wonderful poem.
