The Muse

Your beauty gleams with amber glow against the sunshine;
But in my heart, the light of your love was meant to shine. 

You're a diamond that only from nowhere can be bought;
Your precious glow, from anywhere, cannot be sought. 

Your real value is deeply imbedded in my heart; 
I carried it wherever I'd go from the start. 

No matter what happens, I'll always keep you in my soul; 
For, through the end, you are the fuel of my goal. 

Without your love, these mighty wings cannot soar high; 
You are the wind, with mystic blow, that makes me fly. 

You are the wave that drives my ship to destination; 
Your mere smile heaves high the hope of my volition.
