Her Round Light

Her Round Light

Why do lovers write
of moon,
of sun,
of stars?
Or fireflies 
kept in jars?

Is a woman comparable 
with light?
Can she,
will she
Illuminate 
the night?
Can grace,
can beauty,
be combined with might?

The answer friend 
I say is yes.
With mind,
with fingers
I caress.
I want her more,
never less.
Hand to heart
forever pressed.
Yes my love for her
I enthusiastically confess.

The colours of planets
combined with her scent.
Her light like a halo
roundly bent.
The sea, 
the sun,
the moon 
and stars,
are all witnesses 
that grace is heaven sent.

Paghunda Zahid Date: 10/13/2023 11:04:00 AM Wow, amazing ! While reading your poem I was thinking how beautiful it would be if someone write a poem like this one for you. I got married recently, I have written a couple of poems for my husband, but he is not a literary person, and I am sure he doesn't even know that I have penned down my feelings for him in my poetry lol.
