yours sincerely

charles, ray

dearest one

i write what i'm afraid to speak

i'm weak when i'm with you

tears of love are causing

all the ink to blot

so what am i to do?

hoping to find the phrases

groping to find each word

how they all burn like blazes

now they all seem absurd. though i don't know where to end

and to begin

you must give in because

i'm yours sincerely

the one who loves you dearly

to think about it nearly takes

my breath away. very truly

my passion is unruly

a dream of you is newly born

each night and day. oh but my thoughts are fervent

how can i make them plain?

ever your humble servant

faithfully i remain. i'm intending

to find a happy ending

because i love you dearly

i'm sincerely yours.
