Her smile held the beauty
and secrets of the moon
and there was the mischief of magic
and fire in her eyes
and the flames of the sun
stole their color and warmth

Her skin was woven
from the silk threads of dreams
and the velvet illustrations of love
and the kindness of her heart
emanated beyond the ribs of her chest
and it was there in the radiance
of her heart
he found the promise of eternity
he had not known
he was searching for
