1. You and I - From A to Z - I

You and I (From A to Z): I

I: Near you I ideate
Our matrimonial life,
Look forward to the day
When I make you my wife.

Your smile illuminates
Your fine face ev’ry time
When I send you some flowers —
Of my love they are signs.

Sweetheart, I’d immolate
Ev’rything for your good,
For you impersonate
Kindness that’s still not viewed.

Honey, we’re implicated
In a crime that’s called love.
It always impregnates me,
Thinking that you’re my dove.

Marriage’ll inaugurate
A new age of our bliss:
Together we will be,
There’ll be no loneliness.

I know we’ll inchoate,
When married, hearth and home;
I don’t know where we’ll live,
But it will be a dome.

I’ll never indurate
To you, until I die,
You will infatuate
Me always, I don’t lie.

No one’ll insinuate
Doubts int’ your lucid mind:
We’re really integrated,
That ‘tis true you will find.

Wish I’d intercalate
A month in ev’ry year
So that I’d have more time
To spend with you, my dear.

I can’t interrogate
My mem’ry. No reply
How much I have known you —
‘Tis in the mists of time.

I love to intonate
With you some beaut’ful lines,
And you intoxicate me
By saying, “You do ‘t fine.”

You do invigorate
My body and my heart,
My face ‘s irradiated —
To be with you’s my lot.

I’d ‘gree to isolate
Me from this wildest world
If you liked to be near me
(Hope you won’t call me bold).

I love to iterate
The words, “You’re all I need.”
I feel like an apostle,
You seem to be the Creed.
