My Gaze Is Fixed On You

Some like to gaze at stars;
I stare instead at you.

Compared to how you glow,
They sparkle like the moon. 

You light my inner darkness; 
Your power shines so bright. 

You hold the whole night sky
On shoulders blazing tight. 

You raise each crimson sun 
With arms of strength and trust.

On you I place my faith 
You’ll break the dawn from dusk.

You flood me with fresh oxygen, 
Exhale my every breath.

My molecules are vivified;
You love me Life from Death.

I’m fully formed when we embrace.
Your beauty’s growing on my face;
All imperfection is erased.

Some choose to gaze at stars at night,
But I’m transfixed by You.
