If I told you that your smile brightens my waking like the Aurora Borealis splashes sparkles by day
And that your smoldering eyes bedazzle me at bed-time
just as it streaks neon prisms at night
If I told you that your arms wrapped around me
are as strong and solid as the Cedars of Lebanon
Or that your kiss is as sweet as Moroccan dates
If I told you that your calm spirit engulfs me
like thick fog over mountain ranges
Or that your love, sometimes, strikes me mute with awe
like miraculous rainbows
If I told you these things, would you believe me
as surely as your heart beats and the blood runs through your veins?
If I told you these things,
would you help me to count none of life’s losses and only the gains
As we, together, live, learn, love and weather the storms of angers, disappointments and pains?
If I told you?
