My World In Her Reflection

Like the waves that rise upon the ocean,

like the fire that erupts from a volcano,

like the clouds that moves across the sky,

like the Earth that turns through the endless galaxy,

like every breath I take,

like the restless beat of my heart,

so does her face remain before my eyes.

I wish I could turn the whole world

into her reflection,

My love for her runs through my veins,

like blood itself.

I wish I could show her

how violently my heart beats for her.

If only I could place my heart

before her eyes,

so she could witness

what words could never fully tell.

She seems as though she was crafted,

by the gods themselves,

borrowing the sun’s brilliance,

the moon’s gentle glow,

and from the heavens its grace.

Sometimes I feel I loved her before,

in another life.

that our souls had already met

long before this one.

In thoughts of her

I forget the world.

At times, I even forget myself.

This time,

fate has not been kind,

for she is not beside me.

Some journey's with her,

are filled with sweetness.

Others carry the bitterness

of distance and longing.

No one could love another this deeply,

I would walk with her to the very edge of life.

I can live without her,

but I cannot imagine

a world without her.

As long as breath remains within me,

her name will live upon my lips,

and my heart will remember her

for as long as it knows how to beat.
