How Do I Love Thee

How do I love thee? For my hands are blood splattered My scars are deeply battered How do I love thee? With sunken tears in my eyes, the Unrequited love- lost in paradise. How do I love thee ? for my lips are intoxicated with desire lust has fed my soul with fire how do I love thee ? when there is no love in my heart candid emotions expressed through my art Tell me How do I love thee?

How much I love this? Can you count all rain? That is dropping in an April campaign.

That unrequited love should not be left to go to waste, Red! This is a lovely poem, though so sad! A new love will help the heart to discover fresh desire. hugs // paul
