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" .
