Love Song

If seconds were prolonged to hours

And days become years

This rosy love of ours

Will forever blossom and conquer my fears.

If asked to judge and compare

The silkiness of her hair with the mane of a mare

Or the charm of her eyes with the radiance of a star

It would be a comparison so unfair

Like the Pacific in scale with the Nile.

Enchanted stand I amazed

At how perfect her skin and face,

Modeled and sculptured by the Most High in all His grace,

Radiates and leaves me dazed.

With lush lips like cupid's bow,

And eyebrows like that of an Arabian princess,

She whispers to my heart and soul

Calling out to me ever since pubescence.

Her heart beats to me from afar,

For distance doth keep us apart.

She needs not ask me how good she looks,

For even I think it’s pretty when she nags.

She needs not contemplate for a change

For there's one song I have for her,

"You're amazing just the way you are."

I know not why, but one thing I know

Even if there's not a farthing I own,

Just for me to call you mine

Is enough to make me the happiest man.
