Glorious

There is no love outside of what I feel for you ...
It can't exist -
I contain it all,
   and give it to you.
There is no witchcraft outside of your eyes.
One look and I'm your willing slave -
no questions , no protests.
How can anyone else be beautiful?
No one can, for all the beauty in the world
is captured when you smile.
All music stops - it's only noise
when compared to your laugh,
and poetry falls dead
but when spoken by you.
To me you are everything
I cannot hold -
yet I try.
Should you escape me,
I beg of you to leave with me
just a lock of your hair,
so that I may forever hold
what I know
as all the happiness ever made,
and remember the intensity
of you.
