MY LOVE

My Love




I would compare you to a night without stars,
Were it not for your eyes.



A pail full of phantom gold spilling light drops:
Not the Sun, but my love.

A broken-switch galaxy chandelier blinking
Daylight instantly:
Not the Lightning, but my love.

Silver chains of twilight's tears,
Mercy to tired roses:
Not the Rain, but my love.

Glittering shield to the moon's arrows,
Ancient heart breaking deeply:
Not the Sea, but my love.
