Lilly of the Earth

Grace my heart within your smiles the lily of the earth.
from afar i see you glow even when the sun is asleep.
daily i pretend to behold the illumination that lay in your skin,
but nature proved me wrong in unfolding my eyes to the things beyond the skirt. 
that which has made our men to be a lost sheep.
my heart pants always than the pounds of blood lost to accident when i set my eyes on you.
can someone define love for me?
let no one bother for in you is the whole definition of love.
to find a beauty as you will take the next generation when we would have been made to the dust.
pay no attention to the sounds of the mosquitoes in need of your heart for their aims are evil.
listen well to me oh lilly of the earth that you wont at the end gnash.
my heart seeks your heart for an everlasting love.
be my wife that our God will be happy for choosing right.
for we are made to dwell together in riches and lacks.
with the whole of heavens i plead with you that you will not regret not being my wife
