My Love My All

World's Longest Love Poem (second edition) Title: My love my all Edited by Izunna Okafor Editor's Note: Out of their ardency, eighteen poets and poetry lovers identified with the need to give the 2020 Valentine celebration a poetic taste glamour. With a view to harvest and immortalize this zeal, each of these bards donated a tranche of poetic condiment in response to a call for submissions made in that regard. The fabrication of these romantic lines of epopees, as was edited by Izunna Okafor, gave birth to this panoramic poetic montage —My Love My All. Here in this second edition of this journey, these poets explore the theme to register what love holds for them and their inamoratos in its various dimensions. They write: My love my all In whose heart my treasure grows From whose spine my pleasure flows Nigher oh my love for in you I repose my all Where is the inamorata who chained my treasure She whose smile holds my pleasure! The time fast approaches, With its augur on rose hedges.. Where are you, my love, my all. You whose love tower, I grow tall. The field of love is verdant with hue; My heart wanders for nothing, but you! Give me the love that leads the way And the kiss that heals the pierced heart The faith that nothing can dismay Lest I sink to be a clod. Stretch your loving hand to me my love The hand which comforts beyond measure In the midst of adversity You shall forever be my treasure. Come to me my love. And feel me all as my heart trembles for your love Out of my loneliness Heal me and hold me closer to thee. Loneliness becomes an unbearable sickness Every second your absence is felt Storms trouble my sailing heart In every flash of our last romance. Never will the world ever be sweet If not with you reposing on my laps In you alone I found meaningless of life without a woman. You are my all and true love Both far and near For in you, I felt what Nnewi's progenitor felt for Nnobi damsel That made him start a religion deifying her Your love tastes like abacha And Nwoke Udi special palm-wine joined together My love my all ? s?gbuo m!!! The smile on your face is sun The only thing that stands when everything becomes dark. Your smile is a map directing men of goodwill I will camp you in my heart forever. For you are my salt That flavors the taste of my love. And you are my light, That brightens my darkest plights. For God's love to all, He gave His only Son. But for His love for me, He gave a precious gift of you my heart's key. You pick the lock Oh! You do it all over again My heart, creaking, opening its arms to you You, gliding in with a fragrance of warmth. Your visits leave me nimble Your sweet perfume arouses my soul And when you sway, that liquefied sublime motion My brain falls into oblivion. Deeper in your veins my love flows Beckoning you closer to my sinews Peak me to the point my love temper swells For in you all trust I my all Your love and touch are sensational They give this feeling of nostalgia And make me feel like an infant Please let me be your boo just for a day or two. Thy love is better than wine Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels As the lilly among thorns So is my love for you! As the apple tree among trees, So are you before me always. Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, Onitemi! kiss me, with the kisses of your mouth. Clothe my heart with your love, For its own love is dead. Toss off one bit of it, And the garden would be finer than Eden. Hold my lips, let's make it last, Now I am seconds closer to you. Let it be a thing they could jot down, Knowing well how much we love each other. Youare my love my all, On this beautiful island of scented glory, surrounded by the emerald sea Under the blue sky and crescent moon of passion And blessed with the sweet serenade of nightingales. I crave to dwell in the freshness of your presence Which is as pure as a lily; As rare as a blue rose And as lovely as venus. I only desire company of you To better express the freedom Found in our affection For you are my all. In sincere confession of this, I beseech God to marry us In timeless matrimony of divine and infinite love Beneath the twilight of cupid's divinest dreams. My love you’re my all My forever Valentine My giant for eternity you make me feel secure even when all around me is chaos! Your imperfections are nature's reward to me. They define your humanity, In that man who is perfect lies all the deceit in the world. My love you’re my all While we fold and drink from each others' lips And as moon lends a scenting aroma to our eyes At this love station, countless for the trip, Then I hear a voice pouring from the skies: "This liquid love will soon solidify Only take your sleep gently and watch tears dry For I shall be coming by, Yes, I." How can I make you see what I feel When love is blind? When I push hard You might think love is wicked Here you are staring at me The only thing I want is to deep my lips into yours And our love will be unbreakable Don't call it magic, it's a miracle! With you, it's like honey and bread Sweet to the body and blessing to the soul My love, with you I know we will reach for the stars and even beyond With you, I have no cause to look elsewhere, cause I am at rest. With you, I feel complete You make me see the beauty in my imperfections Your love gives me room to live and truly live With you, I am a giant with great strides. Give me your love, and I will give you my all Kill me with love, and resurrect me with love For it's a season of love Oh! Valentine is here again.
