You
Your beauty brightens the darkest night,
Your face it shines, your eyes delight,
My door for you will always be ajar,
When I gaze in your eyes I gaze afar,
When I think of you my jewel, my gem,
You fill the ink well for my pen,
My inspiration, that's what you are,
My motivation, my twinkling star.
Your hands, your feet, your mouth, your hair,
Your slender fingers, your tender care,
In your creation god smiled with glee,
In you he takes pride, all will agree,
With brightened glance and softened voice,
If between you and the world I had the choice,
There would be no competition between you and them,
My precious jewel, my perfect gem.
And now as I lie before I sleep,
A thought of you in my heart I'll keep,
Maybe I'll be lucky to see you in a dream,
Oh then when I sleep how my face will gleam,
My memories of you I'll cherish forever,
The times when we laughed and smiled together,
You mean much more than you'll ever know,
To the ends of reason, for you I'd go.

I sit alone on this crowded boat, unaccompanied it seems,
Afloat a sea of ideals, and fears and deafening dreams,
I stop to consider all infront, and what I've left behind,
I search and seek but know not yet what I am trying to find.

I ponder simplicity on this vessel of mine,
Bobbing, drifting here and there, no purpose to my time,
So what of life, all around, a cocktail of love and loss,
From innocence to nonsense, a sea that I must cross.

— The End —
