My love,

 

I have tried many times before

To write a meaningful poem

All for you,

But…

 

Suns were too dull,

Oceans were too small,

Rainbows too grey,

Deserts too moist,

Springs too dead,

Autumns too colorless,

Sunsets too ugly,

Skies too foggy,

And life too short.

 

(So please accept these empty blank stanzas,

and please excuse my strong language).

"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date;
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee."

                                              William Shakespeare

Amazing how poets down the ages return to the same themes and sentiments.  I think your poem's really good too.
