EMPTY
-
Should the world somehow bestow
The vastness of its' wealth on me -
Gold, silver and all its' land
And all the castles of all kingdoms
Riches unimagined -
All this would still
Have no meaning.
No diamond could ever reflect
In so many facets, in so many dimensions
The brilliant light of your eyes;
No gold, however polished
Could capture the beauty of your hair,
So flowing in its� delicate embrace of your face.
No palace of marble could give me shelter
Or protect me from storms -
Despite my wealth, I'd still be poorer
Than the humblest beggar;
My heart would be so empty
If I had to live in a world without you.
