I Love You More & More

What can be the meaning of

A “more & more” in love?

Broader, deeper, 

More expensive - cheaper?

A fun concept upon which to dwell.

Does love swell?  Ah, well,

There’s a thought!

A man who reads my poetry

Said that to me.

He hardly know this girl, hmm..lady,

Writer, woman, human.

Yet a poem evokes what it evokes.

Connoting anger, madness, lust & pathos…

Every idea on the globe

And further into universes,

All the connotations endless.

So, “i love you more and more”

Will be well stored cerebrally.

Not physically, nor sentiment-emotionally.

No, “more & more” will have more value than

Repeating schmaltzy rhymes again:

Like,

“Roses red, violets blue, 

Sugar sweet, so are you”

This “more & more”

Is gloriously philosophical 

And much more valuable

Than all the corn of yesteryear,

Being nearer to the real.

And so I thank you more and more

For thinking, saying ‘more & more'

Good wishes, and sincerely, 

Arlene Nover CORwin.
