Tears are only

Tears are easily realised
when alone
I think of you
the sweetest girl in all the land
and everything you do
creates such joy apparent
there is no cause for woe
you are the loveliest flower
that ever bloomed as well I know

such perfume fills the truest self
awash with colours you
have hair that draws the dullest eyes
and creates in them a hue
of forest berries and golden cherries
and autumn browns you woo

a simple poet on a journey
you enchant him with your smile
embracing all the wisdom
that he ever thought of
for a while
those who feel the power of the sun
and see the mirage shimmering free
might think this same phenomena
is the mirage that they see

but clearly you aRE real
YOU ARE no trick of THE light
YOU ARE formed so beautifully
a goddess still so slight
but with that powerful energy
to transform a man like me
to mould and create more wonderMENT
inside my soul and see

such love ascend and with it
the beauty of each day
through the seasons
YOUR choice of reasons
help the mind to stay
focused on your being
for with you I am whole
you have so much wonderment
you really now can bowl

me over I am prostrate
when I cannot see
your absolutely beautiful face
and eyes and hair
which for me
your strong and so lithe body
your fingers and your toes
everything about you
is a joy of sweet repose

everything about you
is a magic I can feel
and be enchanted by you
is a prospect that is real
and being so moved by you
is a consequence of why
and loving you as I do
I will do this till I die
