On the Anniversary of Love
Today, on the anniversary of love,
I wished to weave you into words—
In the form of a poem, or perhaps a tale,
A song… or simply a description of your being
But a word as beautiful as you—
I could not find one
In all the languages of the world
Your entire presence is one thing,
Yet your smile… the glance of your eyes,
The curl of your hair,
And the glow upon your forehead—
None of it could be expressed
Words folded their hands in surrender,
And tongues fell silent.
What could a humble one like me write
In the book of this world?
Even God, in all His beauty,
Could not write a second line like you
