    I'm not sure what to do about the first half... I don't quite like it. Help?

    There have been many humble days
    Tucked here and high away
    Of your highly resonating touch
    (you liberate, I trust)
    I find your gentle, lazy brush
    Has been oft more or maybe much
    For my mind to comprehend.
    (Must such knowledge be transcend?)
    And then,
    To quote their books and lofted prophets,
    What is left?
    For I, you see, am far compelled
    To delve into my questions
    That follow heart and mind
    (Has this always passed through all mankind?)


    They say I am in love,
    And I believe.
    Did the glory of our days delay
    What is and was perceived?
    Or did you know,
    And softly it was taught to me?
    If you but spoke
    (And I'd agree)
    I'd hence begin to challenge seas.
    I'd climb my heights,
    And reckon nights,
    And I would be but yours and free.
    Or if time and you agree triumphantly,
    I would content myself so quietly
    In the shadow of your smile
    And the ridges of your face.
    To date, I have no greater dare
    Than these: my heated, fevered prayers
    That swear for you and me alone
    (Here I lay my heart as prone.
    Have you always ever been my home?)
    Not even heaven knows the answers in your eyes.
