By Jack Joseph Smith

Aug 6, 1971 With tears in my eyes And a smile in my heart May I say I love you more Than I can say as I sit listening to songs That speak of earth Beneath the feet And stars glimmering In a violet sky The moon so full Shines bright tonight But brighter still Is my love for you

A dated love lyric from Aug 6, 1971 contrasts tears and a smiling heart, then measures love against earth, stars, moonlight, and song.

The poem is direct, almost songlike, and its cosmic imagery stays simple: feet on earth, violet sky, moon, and brighter love. The date makes it feel like a preserved occasion rather than an abstract exercise.

A dated handwritten love poem says love is brighter than the full moon and more than the speaker can say.

The page uses familiar romantic scale without irony. Tears, smile, songs, earth, stars, and moon all become ways to state an excess of feeling.
