LOVE OF MY LIFE

Silver streaks of moonlight shine in your eyes whenever you look at me
The sun rises in your eyes my darling
When you dream of holding the moon,
I catch it and bring it to you, wrapped in red-watery rose petals
I lay red roses for your feet to walk on
I see your face on every moonrise
Your face is on every sunrise
My beautiful darling, I can never count the ways I love you
Your eyes sparkle like diamond
Your smile brightens my days like the sun
Love of my life
Sunshine of my morning
Moonlight of my nights.
