Had I Words

Had I the words of Solomon
I would write you songs
Of my undying devotion
Praising your every features.
I would laud your every talent
And mourn your sadness
Rejoice in your pleasures
Bask in your laughter –
But I have naught this gift
To highlight all you are.

Could the words of Keats
Do you more justice?
Would his odes be more
Suitable to your honor
Your strength, integrity
Or would those words
Still fall short of capturing
The utter brilliance of you
Or the sweetness
That pours out of your soul?

Had I these words
Could I even use them correctly?
Would I be able to tell
That your eyes shine
Like polished onyx in the sun
Or that your smile glows
More brightly than that of a raging fire?
No, my words, I fear
Would not come close
But my love says it all.
