The deepest ocean floor of you
The darkest secret door of you
The furthest sandy shore of you
This much do I adore of you
It’s not that you’re all perfect
And it’s not that love is blind
It’s just that you’re so worth it
We fit – in heart and mind
I adore you when you’re happy
And when you’re cold as ice
I adore you when you’re angry
And when you’re hot as spice
It’s not that I’m all-caring
And it’s not that love is sweet
It’s just that I’m declaring
We make something complete
The softest hidden core of you
The sharpest raking claw of you
The passion in the roar of you
I adore all this and more of you

Icarus: Favourite Love Poems
This creative collection, now in its 2nd edition, brings together love poems by Wayne Visser. The anthology traces love’s agony (“Broken Dreams”) and ecstasy (“Galaxies Cart-Wheeling”), from first blush (“Almost Strangers”) to full bloom (“Say ‘I Do!’”), as we fly to love. You’ve given me the gift of golden wings / The endless sphere of blue imaginings / The chance to rise above the silver clouds / The will to cast off untold ghostly shrouds / Don’t fly too high / Don’t rise too fast / Don’t tease the sky / Don’t taunt the past / You’ve given me the hope of warmer days / The blessed kiss of the sun’s fiery rays.
