ALIKENESS

As the warm rays of the sun

Are vital in their rotation

So too is the warmth radiating

From deep within your bosom

Both necessary ingredients

Sustaining my life and affection.

Here most often an azure sky

Matching the beauty of your eyes

Providing air so we will not die

Air that lets us give a deep sigh

Which when together exemplifies

Our feelings of two lovely butterflies.

We also need water to sustain life

For without it we cannot survive

Our kisses indeed would be very dry

Were not our bodies with water supplied

Its circulation feeding both body and mind

Making it such joy to embrace you in kind.

Nourishment too is needed to maintain

Varieties of foods of all types of arraign

Needed too, food for the heart, soul and brain

These, esoteric, much more difficult to attain

Through our chemistry a commitment made

Commensurate with our conscience as aid,


In short a verse from the poet’s palette-

Your affection so genuine, your love so sincere
Your presence so inspiring, so tender, so near
Your happiness imprinted on your face
Your whole being one of charm of grace.
