Why Did I Love You (August contest)
They ask me "why did I love
YOU," I say why not YOU built in me
forts; YOU constructed insuperable castles
of trust, YOU turned my quiet breaths to musical
notes, my everyday words turned to lyrics of lullabies
and elysian songs, the hazy eyes then, now draped
in dappled canvas, reflecting colors of YOUR
metaphorical brush, my dry, thirsty lips start-
ed a rich flow, a fountain of ink, I started
to rock and roll on words like
I love YOU. YOUR hearty
world has put in mine
the meaning
of the real
art

Hi friend Rula
very nicely crafted poem very thoughtfully presented in heart shape [being seat of love] ...very soft feel to it and conveying the meaning with good usage of words to express the feelings...many beautiful lines...hard to choose one
I also liked use of uppercase bold for YOU, YOUR to demonstrate what is so central / important/nucleus in love....making your world revolve around him....
please check if you need to add a comma after "the hazy eyes then"
best wishes for the contest and more importantly for your love to prosper continually

Dear raj
I'm so happy that you like it. It took me quite a time to put it in the heart's shape and more time to stream it the way it looks, I'm happy to know it is worth it as your words are so supportive.
Thank you for your wishes as well. :-D

Hello lovedly
Thank you for the kind words of appreciation.
To get the 'bold' font, you need to choose the advanced format first> highlight the word you need to emphasize> click on control and the letter "b" at the same time. That's it.
For Italics choose control and the letter"i" .
