Shall I Compare You

Shall I Compare You... ? Shall I compare you to the sun? Shining and warm, my dearest one Shall I compare you to the moon? Unique and bright, my greatest boon Shall I compare you to the light? Illuminating what not of sight Shall I compare you to the knight? in honour and dignity willing to fight Shall I compare you to the Queen? Admiring how you yourself preen Shall I compare you to the heart? You are the love bathing in my heart Shall I compare you to life? Of essence, lenient and tough Shall I compare you to...? You are beyond my similes and metaphors You are above what I write of poetry forms You are my mother Of words I can add no other Mother
