A question not answered

You asked me why I Iove you?

I love you as,
the suns rays

caress this morning

so gently, 

that her tears are dew 


as black
consumes my spirit,

a skein of velvet

shot bursts

illumination 

my gift

and that,

without your swirl
I would have never shined

I’d have not discovered 

love as

the siren or mermaid

never would I have felt your breath

in my hair

The shy wallflower 

hiding like ‘wheres wally’

in a pot-plant

I was the closed 

speck of a mouth

that seldom moved

but you caught my eye 

held it in your hand

and refused to return my sight

till I saw myself as you did

ever special 

ever precious

I saw myself through your eyes

you ask why I love you?
