SOUVENIR
When I think of my Lady Love, her radiant eyes
Are hazel, ocean-deep, bright and clear,
Gleaming in mystique. Her complexion belies
Lotus blue in moonlight: ethereal beauty, I'd swear!
Her features so sharp with a body well-chiseled;
And if I ever tried to hold her close,
She felt exotic, and her body smelled
Like a new-blown Mediterranean rose.
To my dearest darling, I have a wish to offer:
Token of my constant love, a befitting memento…
Unparalleled as Nature has fashioned her--
Eternal beauty to last forever, not just a fleeting show.
A jewel unrivalled; to my Princess of dreams,
Unique she is, my heart so says to recommend,
Nothing beneath her dignity; to me it seems
Proper to send her a ring with a big diamond!
