Random Sauce: Your Love, I Owe

In my last post, I mentioned my confidence in my short story abilities. Even less confident are my attempts at poetry. Everyone is their harshest critic, but no matter. I figured it would be fun to share random tidbits from my archives, every now and then - cheesy or not. I drafted this six years ago while dating my wife. Enjoy!

Your Love, I Owe - by Yours Truly

Have you discovered a time
when your eyes shine for another,
and the world wouldn't matter
if you had to live without her?

In that valued moment,
when life obtains meaning,
you gain a clearer sense
of your reason for living.

The rarest diamond on Earth,
the finest pearl in the sea.
If I compared you to these,
would you love a man like me?

The dark is light where you are.
My heart longs when you are far.
See in me and always know,
your love, forever, I owe.

Clearly, I was a twitterpated bloke. Still am :)
All right, poets! Good, bad, sad, or cheese?
I'm open to your feedback. "Brutal is best."
