He saw her as night,
Infinite blazing stars
Sprinkled throughout
Her perfect heart,
Each small glance
Like a comet,
Setting his mind alight,
She was wonder,
Beauty and joy,
All at once.
For only her, he would
Surrender himself,
As the tide surrenders
To the pull of the moon,
And so, I would never
Be seen, for I am nothing,
Compared to the dream
Of her love.
