Slayed with complete awe at the sight
Early crisp morning at dayspring
Mind burning with desire to bring
Perfect sketch with word-craft as bright
Description of the sun's first light
Such angst thus paired with heart of glee
When thoughts and feelings can't run free
This poem's not about sun rays
You see! You set my soul ablaze
When your exquisite face I see

Your smile's perfect poise
Expression of life and light
Blossom of pure joy
Color on canvas vibrant
Awakens music to dance

My little soul spark
By you stoked and overwhelmed
Set me fast ablaze

This life is an adventure, and so we go
Across hot shifting sand or soft green park
Sometimes the going's fast, sometimes it's slow
At times much more like spinning in the dark
When does the story end, you never know
The music full of wolves and singing lark
But I am sure the dance would be more grand
If you, my dear, would always hold my hand

Do you know how lovely you are?
Though often passing time seems to mar
Your beauty fires of life just unearth
Shining light behind every scar

Do you know the sum of your worth?
More precious than all of the jewels of the earth
An intricate, masterful, purposed design
Something unchanging in sorrow or mirth

Can't you see now, your exquisite and fine?
More eloquent than any fragrance or wine
This I will show you, each day that I can
And celebrate you, knowing this, you are mine

What person would capture my love
Like hand in glove
Could hold me tight
In day or night

Beauty planted, visible, sure
Complex and pure
Lovely to see
Strikingly free

Epitome of all my dream
With star-like gleam
Constant and true
My darling, you

Inspiration runs from heart to head
Into my hands and onto page
To express the power evoked
A heat that builds even now
At the smallest thought
My lovely one
Gives rise to
You're my
Muse
