Subjective reasoning is not what I need
Seclusive existence is far from my ambition,
Searching high and low I have realized that my hearts desire lies within the name
Sylvia

You have encompassed me in your glow of passion,
You have learnt the secrets of my heart without even taking a peek into my eyes,
Yearn has become the indifferent longing that fills my heart whenever you are far away
You are truly amazing in all dimensions

Lie I can not about how I feel
Like is it? No like is an understatement
Love? Am yet to know for I do not fathom what I feel
Limited to only two options of emotions the only notion I seek is the hope that the feeling is mutual

Versatile in my limited lines of thought
Vows endearing I utter in silent condemnation
Vanity in its fairness has bestowed upon my dreams the beauty of your smile,
Vicious in this squabble with my inner self I only long for the day I finally see you,

Inevitability of submission is the incumbent feeling that
Illuminates my heart whenever
Illusive thoughts of you
Initiate wave after wave in my mind

An abstract of my heart reveals
A simple fact, set in diversity but glued by
A single component, you
Am awash with your splendor that is why to you I render myself helpless
