How could I gaze at 

Such beauty as a 

Sunset when here you are 

Sitting beside me?


Your face reflects the golden light 

And your smile 

Reflects my joy.


I can only take in the

Sight for so long before

The sun sinks


But still the glow of your skin in the

Dusk is so very

Effervescent.


And I would continue to take in

This,

The sight of you,

For all of my days.


Or, if by cruel curse or willing God

I am to

Become blind,

Let it be by the view of your

Presence.


Let it be by the tinted green of your

Eyes.

By the strands of your tussled hair

That linger on

My mind.

Let it be, but not

Without memory

Of the lovely vision that is

You.

So, I will stare

And rejoice

And remember.
