LOVE OF MY LIFE

Author: Goodwill Mathonsi

Silver streaks of moonlight shine 
in your eyes whenever you look at me 
The sun rises in your eyes my darling 
When you dream of holding the moon, 
I catch it and bring it to you, 
wrapped in red-watery rose petals 
I lay red roses for your feet to walk on 
I see your face on every moonrise 
Your face is on every sunrise 
My beautiful darling, 
I can never count the ways I love you 
Your eyes sparkle like diamond 
Your smile brightens my days like the sun 
Love of my life 
Sunshine of my morning 
Moonlight of my nights.
