Love Like they Love
This poem is inspired by Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poem " How do I love thee? " Since it is a sonnet, I will write it in the same form. I will borrow the first line only. I tried to understand what makes a person feel loved. I took insights from various posts and Gary Chapman's book " Five Love Languages. " How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. First I thought, I will do all as you say and I saw myself like the fading rays so I thought to gift you a starry day but still you forgot out bondage which made me feel used up still, I gathered courage and filled my admiration cup only to discover missing passion. I thought togetherness was less but that wasn't your mission. when I felt you in me and caressed your need as mine that I found the loving bliss of thee.
