In the end, I will still choose you.

Your eyes….
Yes,
Your eyes,
They are the mirror in which my soul dances.
I am yours,
Be it in pain,
Be it in merry.
I can’t promise of weddings, Yet I am sure, I will always be there, At the dining table of your affections.
Even if what you serve is tears.
You are the flesh of my flesh.
If tears come,
I shall drink them away.
I am not perfect
In my imperfections,
I shall still revere you.
This is a journey,
I can’t promise it will be smooth.
If I was to fall,
I pray that you remain strong, For those are days for your beauty to flourish.
I have become so drowned, In the thoughts of you,
I don’t even know myself anymore.
You have risen in my heart, Like the sun rises at dawn, I pray that you never set.
Am I really mad for loving you?
I am told, that I’m running insane.
Every day, I shall wake up, Look unto the sky,
And I shall whisper to the heavens: Thank you, for giving me this virtuous woman.
In this chaotic world, where lies rule, While truth is buried,
I vow to be peace and truth for you.
Even a single droplet of tears from your eyes, Makes my heart weak and sad, I pray you only know of happiness and joy.
If I could have to choose between life and you-I would choose you always.
When history is written,
It shall read:
This man loved her unconditionally.
I have become like a child in their mother’s laps, I can’t live anymore without your touch.
The joy you have brought in my life, Even oceans can’t be enough to hold it.
When I thought all was over for me, You came, gracefully.
In the midst of chaos of life, I have found tranquility in you.
I pray that when darkness comes, I shall be that candle,
That lights your way.
Should life be chaotic,
And you lose your guidance, I shall be that star,
That will lead you through.
You are the companion,
Whom my heart,
When all is said and done; Still chooses.
You have taught me that the beauty of life, Is not the currency or the jewels, But a woman whose heart is full of affection.
And the award goes to….
No. How can I compare thee?
When all and sundry,
Are beneath your glory.
In this race, I have chosen to be blind and deaf, My eyes and ears are completely yours.
I shall not be the wind for you, But a fountain that showers you, Daily, with fresh waters.
I shall not be the garden of roses, To give you a timely fragrance, But a field of green pastures, That your hunger may be eternally quenched.
Before you, I used to see with my eyes, With you, I now see with my heart.
As one tear of joy dropped, I knew, Oceans of joy will flow,
With you in my heart.
I thought I had lost meaning and purpose, Then I found YOU.
I shall seek the heavens no more, I am devoutly yours.
When men of God say church is the only sanctuary, I whisper to myself, “they have not yet met my Love.”
Those who shower Mozart with praises, Have not yet heard the melodies, Of your adorations.
From childhood, I had believed, Honey was the sweetest,
Then I met you,
I no longer eat honey.
I used to pray for daily bread, As Christ had righteously advised, When you came, I quit,
I am already contented with you.
It’s amazing how you have tuned my heart, To the melodies of your affections.
I used to believe that those in love were insane, But now I am the most insane of all, I want no more sanity.
May the universe always favor you.
THE END
