Love Poem: My Guiding Light

My Guiding Light

Have I ever told you that
I'd be lost without you?
Your love is my guiding light
without which, I would be blind.
Fate favored me
the day we met,
and I feel forever grateful.
Do you know that when I sleep
you sweeten my dreams,
defying reality
on the wings of hope?
Until I dined with you,
I supped on guile and suspicion 
and defecated disbelief
in heaps of frustration
and anger.
Are you aware you saved my life?
I would have ended it
long ago
but for you.
I was a nobody, just another toad
with many faults.
But you saw past my warts
and through your eyes
you let me see
that I was a good man,
thank you; for believing in me.
