Language of the Stars

Darling,

                        beautiful

            will never do you justice.
            Nothing I could ever say
            would describe you how you are.
            No word my lips could form would be

                        as smooth as you,
                        as soft as you,
                        as sweet a holy blessing
                        as the very thought of you.

Darling,

                        beautiful

            will never do you justice.
            To describe you would require
            something I cannot obtain—

                       for as your beauty
                       is that of the Heavens,
                       only the language of the stars
                       would describe you how you are.
