That I Love You

Every time I see your face,
My heart flies from its place,
Here within my chest,
And comes to rest,
Upon the clouds above,
Because I can’t contain this love,
That’s deep within my heart,
Every time I see this matchless art,
Straight from the Master’s hand,
More precious than a platinum band,
Your skin, more rich than mahogany,
Your eyes, deeper than moon lit sea,
And the melody of your voice,
If I had the choice,
I would hear only it,
For no other is so finely fit,
With such dulcet tones,
Which soothe me to the bones,
Your smile! Tis so bright,
It could light a thousand nights,
Cheer a thousand souls,
And outshine a thousand blazing coals,
Your hair so dark, silken, and long,
Crowns a figure, beautiful and strong.
Your love, is more fragrant than the rose,
Your presence better than any repose,
Yet despite all these things,
What truly brings,
My affections from my heart,
Flying like a dart,
Is your individuality and care,
Your kind, and your fair,
You are merciful and true,
In all that you do,
You follow the God above,
With all your heart and love,
And these are the reasons why,
From my heart comes the cry,
That I love you Nini,
With all that is within me.
