For every smile cast upon this appearance
Your affection sentenced it here
Undying tenderness from your heart
Soothes this soul from its burning agony
Though you might not admit your true strengths
You and I both recognize its power
Before you were the moon of my midnight…
I had dark shadows and sins lurking in every murky corner
Your light brought me a cascade of happiness and joy
For that you are the affection sentenced here
To cast upon this appearance… you are the reason behind my ever smile

This is very good and touching! Your words are deeper then you know, well done.

Mandy's right, Nika; this is really a good one.

Thanks so much, by the way, for defending me against that person the other day who was attacking me; that really means a lot to me.

And, as you know, I never forget.

Never.

Respect and solidarity to you, my friend and fellow poet.
