Gift of Love

Beautiful eyes wide
Gentle lips with red of wine
Silken, golden hair so fine
Fire within red touched strands
Skin, soft and pure as light
A goddess, definitely sure am I

I would walk 10,000 miles
To kiss your lips and see a smile
A love pure and gracefully tender
Of this I seek in your tender presence

I wish to love you, and you of me
Can you hear my heart dear lady
My love words whispered truly
In your ears, perfectly near 

Yet with trembling doubt 
I ask you, from my own mouth
Can one of perfect grace as thee
Love someone as base as me

For if you say you do
I will give my life to you
My gifts forever solely yours
Until my death I swear for sure.
