An ode to my radiant self

I radiate my inner glow—
like a well-polished precious jewel,
  pleasing to see, with graceful height.
My handsomeness: a masterpiece of art,
  driven by keenness to shed excess fat,
yet I still stand out like a star in the crowd.
My eyes radiate warmth that melts ice—
 as deep and mysterious as a star-filled sky.
My smile, a gentle breeze—
  a radiance that brightens all days.

Gentle as sleep, yet fierce as a lion,
 depending on how you perceive my calm.
But I am a true gentleman—
 like weather: mostly mild, sometimes stormy,
yet with a heart of gold,
 veins of its worth hidden underground,
bringing forth joy like sunlight when unearthed.
The glory of my gentleness spreads wide—like wildfire,
 yet remains near enough to be felt and tasted.
After all, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Sharp as a whip, with a lightning-quick mind—
 bright as day, as sly as a fox,
  a tower of knowledge
   filled to the brim with real wisdom.
Every day, fire burns inside me near my heart of gold,
 bringing forth brilliant ideas...
  like a burning torch
   illuminating every dark corner of ignorance.
Just be my friend and experience the wisdom I represent.
