My wife gave me permission to post this one.

Dear Katy

Poetry slips away, impossible to express,
The depth of love inside, tender touch of her caress,
I try in vain to say, shadow’s sliver of the love,
Bon mots summoned with pride, fall far short from goal above,
Paramount the love stands, mortal words can’t scale this peak,
Every word I know tried, I can’t find the words I seek,
Failed, I throw up my hands, so the world cannot be told,
Defeated, poet puts up pen, mute as poets dead of old,
Three verses saying naught, but the feelings there are true,
Strongest bonds never break, though I can’t tell, say or do,
Greater love can’t be sought, nothing bests my love for thee,
Your love I won’t forsake, love always, my dear Katy.
