Nowhere in
this universe
could you
find your
sea shell
smile,

or echo
of your
gypsy
laughter
under a
mid day
sun,

the caption
of day
and life
in your
eyes.

the truth
of innocence
lying open
and free
upon your
touch.

you are
a promise
of everything
that is
kind and
breath taking
to see,

first light
in the
morning

or late
night
under
midnight
dreams,

you fill
the very
minutes
of life
itself,

with a
open heart
beauty that
is you.

and for
that
time
itself takes
a moment
to gaze back
upon you,

and smile,

for like
me it
is helpless
do anything
else.
