Note: "W. H." was the mysterious person that Shakespeare addressed most of his poems to.
"N.T."- is a special person in my life.

To: W.H.

I write to you, whose charm remained unmatched,
Preserved in endless rhymes of poet’s pen,
To tell you that from all your graces hatched
A soul, which bids perfection an amend.
My tongue fall short to capture her in word,
My hands -- to trace her likeness for your sight.
Compare her to another? -- it’s absurd,
For there’s not another of her might.
Imagine heaven’s most divine creation,
Made even more divine by a holy force,
That even Gods would stand up in ovation
To praise and thank this lovely angel’s source.

There’s only one true beauty that I see,
Allow me to address her as “N.T.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I fell in love and kept on falling...

Well, Master, you've done it again.  Your talent is incredible.  Well thought out and a good read, do keep it up!  

 *Krista Knutson*

~*Like a lion, without fear of the howling pack,
Like a gust of wind, ne'er trapped in a snare,
Like a lotus blossom, ne'er sprinkled by water,
Let me, like a unicorn, in solitude roam.*~ Hymn Of Buddha
