even the lightning in my eyes

bow to your glory,

the thunder in them

no more speaks in a vehement voice,

it's hoarseness melts

by the power of your gaze,

it was humbled

ever since your presence patted

it on the head like a pet

what we share,

time can never destroy,

by your name, my heart proclaims me Hercules

with the muscles of possiblity,

I can do anything if you're by my side

Nature couldn't have sketched

happiness in a more grand way,

than a living Monalisa portrait

such as you

And when the eyes that tell the story of a bloom,

so eminent met mine,

I spoke a different language,

I sang a new song,

that was...love.
