In the Eye of the Beholder

You are more beautiful than beauty
More lovable than love
More lustrous than the petal of a rose
Livelier than life
More vibrant than the rainbow;

You have more curves
than a meandering stream,
Than a winding road,
More playful than a feather 
swept off by the wind;

Your smile is like a silver lining
on a cloudy day
Your voice like the musical notes
You walk the ballet steps
Your breath like the balmy breeze;

You are a poet’s inspiration 
You are a sculptor’s imagination,
You are my vision
You are the beguiling mirage
You are more enthralling than
canoeing through the grand rapids
More exhilarating than the roller coaster ride.

You are my heartbeats
You are the apple of my eye
You dwell in my dreams
You channel my conscience
You enliven my spirit
You rekindle my hope…
You are the elusive muse of my quest.
