Mike Gentile Poet Free verse

The You I Know

It’s a combination of many things  
                        not just a halo and angels' wings 
There’s so much more to you
                    than you could know

If you had a mirror to look within
                     not just to mirror your flawless skin
You might begin to see
                            the you I know 

Violet kindness reflects in your eyes
       Lips made of moonlight to shimmer the skies  
Draw me in closer as you feel my heart
              That’s when I pray that we’ll never part

It”s a combination of many things
                 Not just a Cherub with harp that sings
There’s so much more to you 
                   than you could know


Forever be mine
                   my Valentine!
