Each day I lived, endured whatever came,
No fervor neither calm, I but suspired,
And days went by unworthy to acclaim,
Dull nights, dim days, till your arrival glowed.
To my despondent life, you ushered zeal,
Bringing its banality to an end,
My heart's sunflower, to your gleaming smile,
My all songs of praise, from your allure stemmed.
Everlasting desires, all but one, ceased,
To behold fair you, within my heart dwelt,
And so, the twilight of my soul beseeched,
The glow of your star eyes, this dusk to melt.
You splashed my whole being with love so pure,
For it is that soft tide which touched my shore.
