to write a poem in your name
i need verbosity beyond my name
for words too few
can never express you
whom do i compare you to?
can it be the morning dew?
oh no! beautiful though it seems
it lives by the day only in my dreams
lovely and precious like you
clear and true not more than you
but it is only morning dew.
do i liken you to the spring breeze?
for how it kisses my face with ease?
but it only flows in the spring
while every breath does your love bring
and it has but only one scent
and i know not still in how many ways
your heart towards me is bent
can the flowers be of any more help?
for they appear to be the work of an elf.
teasing me with thier fragrance and beauty
like you to me, as if duty.
but, oh, they wither with time.
though innocent and sublime
they are not what your heart is to mine.
do i then equate you to the moon?
for your voice, in the night, is a boon.
it shines in the darkness
throwing upon me the diving light.
But, no, the moon doesnt reflect all the light
but your voice it shines forth
and turns on me all the sparkles bright.
The sky is not blue enough for you innocence,
nor the sea deep for your passion,
nor no blossom quite your beauty.
No sun is brighter than your light,
nor no tree as kind.
So how do i write a poem in your name?
and to these lines, i give what name?

I am not the person you think I am
I am not the person you think I am,
'Cause I have forgotten myself.
I don't know any sins any long,
'Cause I have forgiven myself.
I am not here to count gains and losses.
I have lost myself, and gained others.
But I don't how to add up each.
I am not here to judge rights and wrongs.
I did charities as did I sin alongside.
But I don't know what takes you to heaven.
I don't have dreams or nightmares,
'Cause I woke up long ago.
I don't know what lies behind or beyond,
'Cause I have stopped looking.
'Cause I have forgotten myself.
I don't know any sins any long,
'Cause I have forgiven myself.
I am not here to count gains and losses.
I have lost myself, and gained others.
But I don't how to add up each.
I am not here to judge rights and wrongs.
I did charities as did I sin alongside.
But I don't know what takes you to heaven.
I don't have dreams or nightmares,
'Cause I woke up long ago.
I don't know what lies behind or beyond,
'Cause I have stopped looking.
