I love you supremely,
How could I love you any more?
You are the beauty I spend
Each day trying to love you better.
My wretched gifts,
Paltry to those that other,
more affluent lovers might present.
I give to you my words,
My flesh and what strength I have left.
Each passing day is a day to cherish,
As I whisper sweetness in your ear.

I search my mind for a perfect gift,
One that hasn't been thought of before.
I believe if some wistful god in some distant land,
Were as enraptured with you as am I,
He would bequeath to you your private star.
And give back to you your gaiety and youth,
He would surely give you magnificent presents I cannot

Yes, you should have loved a deity,
I am simply ancient dust.

Funny thing about love, it's stars in your eye, stars in your pockets, and a heaven which lives in your heart. It doesn't matter how old you are, it shakes the dust from your feet! I like this very much!
