Jessie

In all my many lives Never have I felt For another being That which I feel for you Your beauty far surpasses All the greatest beauties of the ages None can compare With your radiance Your smile gives the impression That all the stars that shine in the heavens Have coalesced into one shimmering ball And taken on human flesh The goodness of your heart And the magic inherent in your being Shine from your eyes Bringing light to a world of darkness You are an inspiration A Muse to my weary soul Stirring the depths of me to longing and action I am completely captivated by every facet of you Your endearing little quirks Your private language Your single-minded focus and passion You have so much strength in you Far more than you give yourself credit for having You try to hide yourself Among the stars and scars But I see through your camouflage To the goodness and warmth That resides in your soul You truly are the girl who has haunted my dreams Though you are far beyond anything My wild imagination could have conceived of You fill me with awe And such longing That my heart cannot contain the emotions It threatens to burst Within my chest Even though we have known each other But a short time I wonder how I survived in this world Without you in my life You are light And grace and beauty Everything that is good and wonderful In the universe Made incarnate You deign to walk among mere mortals And brighten our mundane lives When you are the Queen of the Universe In disguise I am carried away on dreams When I look into your eyes You have no idea The power you have over me The hold you have on me I would spend all my days Proving my love to you And making you happy If you will but grant me a crumb of your affection I know That no matter where I go How many lives I live from here I will never find Another Who makes me feel Like you.
