The Joy of Love

The boundless joy I feel when you are near is peerless, much more valuable than gold, and I can scarce restrain a happy tear when your resplendent beauty I behold. Your tresses, silken and so fair lie soft upon your pillow, vision so divine, your slender body mesmerizes, oft I long to hold you close and make you mine. Your eyes like sparkling stars so deeply rare imbue whate'er they see with purity; no sweeter verdict pass'd could be my share than be here bless'd for all eternity, safe in your embrace with all the world astray I'd lie content, my cares would fade away.
