This is the greatest flattery of my heart,

to have a swaggering lioness

that roars out my joy

in the pulchritude of hopes,

I am indeed astounded

by how she plundered my breathe

with the magic of her essence,

her might that strikes

like luminous sorcery

A spell wound over my mind

that hibernates, never to awaken

and a heart that awakens

from the doze of loneliness

with a smile bright as beauty itself,

she gave me an undeniable regard

which changes my footsteps

to the pride of sunshine

I rejoice at this marvelous intoxicated

as she is the alcohol I drink

By the authenticity of her heartbeat,

I have been reincarnated

from being to monument

from human to an ornament of truth,

that she wears like a chain

round her neck of care

By a tsunami of compassion

I have been baptised enormously

with strong affection

because she's here,

her presence like the sparkle of a diamond,

now my heart and soul

twinkle like mighty stars of romance.
