Should I Compare You To The Sky?
Should I compare you to the sky?
Your glimmering hair like wispy clouds,
so soft and puffy when done up high,
like fluffy cottons; You wear them proud.
Your eyebrows shape like celestial rainbows;
Shimmering arches of alluring sight;
They’re long and thin like leaves of willow,
that frame your face with such delight.
Your eyes sparkle like the nightly stars;
They are bigger and brighter than the sun.
I would get lost in them for hours or more;
One look at them and I’d be stunned.
Your face shapes like a crescent moon;
Angular and sharp in all the right places.
Your cheekbones high and divinely pruned;
You have one of the most beautiful faces.
Your lips are moist like the air after the rain;
They tempt and tantalize each time you smile.
Your beauty is hard for words to explain;
I’ve been mesmerized by them for a while.
You are a heavenly vision that is most fair;
You must have descended from the most high.
Your beauty is ethereal that none can compare.
Such beauty could only be compared to the sky.
