The Poetry of You

The Poetry of You
Quizmo LaGrande

The light within these starry eyes
Happed ignite when you swept by.
No words or wind of tasteful deed
Could shield the loveliness of thee.

A breathless charm, my dream created
My eyes, my ears, core permeated
Floated in one fleeting glance
As if I had not partial chance.

That night you stole my heart and soul,
Do you recall? I begged not let go.
The instant that you lit the flame
I set foot inside a different plane

That realm of poetry and art,
Music dashing though my heart
Nevermore to plainly be
A simple sedentary me.

Now love, in exponential measure,
Grows daily, with just one wee tether,
The poetry, my Love, of you,
The means by which my pen sings true.
