You are beautiful.
But that word is not enough.
No word is enough.
But with many words I may attempt
to capture your beauty
to paint the words onto paper
so that others may imagine.
They could only imagine.
The shadow of your beauty
covers my eyes
and speaks to my soul
You hold my confidence in your laugh
and then teach me to be shy.
You hold my dreams in your words
and enchant my reality.
Your silence is a torture I treasure
as you hold my glance.
I am a shadow in your light
I am the waxen tears
beneath your candle flame.
But I wouldn’t have it any other way
because together we are balance,
we are whole,
we are one.
