When I Say I Love You

When I say I love you
It was a diamond of word
And by sun or moon
You have some light
Of meaning here
Nothing will glow in darkness
If the eye is closed
My love looks better
Where the light appears
I can only refract
And reflect
The composition of the soul
That on my crystal turns
And radiates
My heart to shower
Beauty beyond mere gold.

L'Shango, you seem to be a man of boundless love and at the same time, a person who has been through much but bears it with much grace...it comes out in your every word...love your writings and quite happy to read them....hugs to you, Marci
