You my sky

If I don't come to you and steal a kiss,
This paltry world will offer me no bliss.
There is no other joy that it can give.
Your love alone can make me glad I live.

Your glances flood the world with light sublime So that all secrets it contains I may divine.

I owe my noblest feelings to that light,
Imbuing all my life with pure delight.
My loving dreams soar higher than the skies. My guiding stars are your beloved eyes.

Some romantic thoughts and feelings are nicely expressed, in this writing. It's also positive, hopeful and manages to link love; with a kind of divine essence..? It also speaks of the sheer devotion, which a woman can give to a man in her life. Thanks for sharing.
