Wilfred Mellers (March 5,1962 / Kinston, Jamaica, West Indies)
YOU ARE II
You are more beautiful than sunset on Waikiki beach
You are so pleasing to the eyes that my soul cries out tears of joy
You are like the dawn that brings on a new day
You are like the dew makes the flowers grow each morning
You are as pure as the white sands of the Caribbean
You are like a starlit night in Negril Jamaica
You are as beautiful as the birds of Panama
You are as gentle as the flowers that blooms in a secret garden
You are mother earth and I a son of your creation
You are like the moon that lovers gaze upon
You are the light that shines through the great void in space and time
You are the beauty that cannot be denied nor summarized
You are all things great and small
You are the source that mere mortals cannot resist
You are the sun that brings life to the heavens
You are everything and everything is you
You are like a waterfall that its mist gently flows over my body
I would surrender my all for just one moment in your arms
I would spend every waking moment worshiping your grace
No pedestal could be high enough for you to sit upon
By your command men would lay down their very lives for you
Just hearing your voice sends men into frenzy
Just one word brings joy into this world
You are a living dream come to life incarnate
If you were a dream I would spend my life sleeping
I would never wake to face a day without you in it
I would stay comatose until a kiss from your lips sends me flying
You mean more than words could ever coherently be spoken
You are the embodiment of what a woman should be
There is no place I would rather be with than right by your side
Cuddling with you as like paradise taken twice fold
In all things I would put you first
You are more glamorous than any gown designed by Christian Dior
You are more fabulous than any diamond set upon Angelina Jolie’s finger
You are more precious that black pearls found of the shores of Tahiti
You are the spark that sets the world aflame
You are the nectar carried by the bees that is the delicacy of the gods
You are like the fabric of life worn to perfection
Sweet, filling, and delightful for you are life’s dessert
I will serve you humbly till time fades away
