Sonnet for Her #1

If ever I knew true beauty and love,
'Twas found in the light of her gentle ray
That beams from the heavens from far above,
Gold like sunshine on a new summer's day.

Her heart, the source of this unfading fire
And her face, the lamp displaying the flame.
At first sight I grew so wild with desire,
A state I found not so easily tamed.

So long had I lived lonely in the dark;
Nothing to love in an eternal night.
Yearning for something if just a brief spark
To light up my world, for once make me bright.

Now we're together, her light never fades,
But once in a while she sits in my shade.
