I Love You

Your lustrous eyes sparkle like the glint of the rising sun 
caught by the morning dew on leaves of grass.

My world revolves around
your mystifying gazelle eyes--
When you look at me, my love
My day dawns…
I blossom like countless flowers in spring;
When you lower them
My sun sets…
I die a thousand deaths like leaves in fall.

I love you in many ways
like myriad shimmering stars in the firmament—
Heavenly, ethereal, undying!
