you are
the very light that never leaves my eyes
you are
merriment and bemusement
and all the subsequent pleasures the two derive
you are
ornery sweet folly
a jester personified
though flawed as YOU ARE
you beam and bring
such sweet tempting man
into my life
in your eyes
I am falling
forever to be gone
lost in this chasm
I call you
never fully knowing
my place for long..........
