YOU.

Like sparks of light amidst the night,
You come by chance, a gleaming wonder,
And suddenly the world burns bright –
It seems it’s always been that thunder.

You’re like the dawn within my eyes,
As gentle as the morning’s rising.
Your smile – a soft and shining fright –
Has left me lost, without surmising.

Your eyes – like breeze on silent seas,
Like oceans pulling me down deeper.
I drowned in love, in sweetest peace,
And now the world feels kinder, sweeter.

But let me say – and make it clear –
You light my path again, much bolder.
I melt in springtime warmth sincere
Each time your voice lays on my shoulder.

And truly, yes, my heart beats fast
Each time your name I hear repeated.
In you, my every thought is cast –
My poet’s gaze is now completed.
