EMPTY
Should the world somehow bestow
The vastness of its' wealth on me -
Gold, silver and all its' land
And all the castles of all kingdoms
Riches unimagined -
All this would still
Have no meaning.
No diamond could ever reflect
In so many facets, in so many dimensions
The brilliant light of your eyes;
No gold, however polished
Could capture the beauty of your hair,
So flowing in its’ delicate embrace of your face.
No palace of marble could give me shelter
Or protect me from storms -
Despite my wealth, I'd still be poorer
Than the humblest beggar;
My heart would be so empty
If I had to live in a world without you.
