You give me more than I know
More than I ask
More than I ever believed
You give me more than you show
More without task
More than one should ever receive
You bring me more than I need
More than I could use
More than my hands could ever hold
You bring more flowers from seed
You bring more sunlight that grows
More beauty for me to unfold
You teach me more than is real
You learn there's more of my heart
You see more than the skin I am in
You bring more to the deal
Much more from the start
More than I ask, let love begin
Those last three words - LET LOVE BEGIN - are so eloquently supported by the preceding stanzas I have no doubt a new stage of the speaker's life is about to begin. You constructed each stanza to advance the poem's theme which is a exuberant confidence. And I am convinced because the details are so precised and focused. This is one of my favorite passages because it shows mutual sharing YOU BRING ME FLOWERS FROM SEEDS / YOU BRING ME SUNLIGHT THAT GROWS / MORE BEAUTY FOR ME TO UNFOLD. Beautiful!
Absolutely stunning! 10/10. Your feelings are so appreciative and affirmative! perhaps you are standing on the threshold of a new beginning. All my best wishes, dear friend. Do not forget to spare some time to gaze at the moon tonight.
This is a Poem of Affirmation, and it is a grand example of affirmation with each stanza providing proof positive. The poem almost strikes me as an inventory which follows the double declarations of I LOVE YOU. Having put their hearts in order, the couple are now putting their lives in order. After the sobering reality of reading MY HEART IS YOUNG, I wanted to come back for another look at this poem's triumph of ROMANTIC FOLLY!
the expectations of the loving heart to appreciated the wonders of that powerful emotion...wonderful poem...

Excellent expression of big to introduce. As a Bengali poet we know a song written by Nobel Laureate poet R.N.Tagore. I didn't want but you have given me much / giving yet fulfilling my heart. Any way, your writing reminds me the song again. Thank you.
