Love Poem: Romeo

Romeo

My fair Romeo is likened to an autumn leaf,
Blushing and fair.

Like the sunrise and the sunset,
I look forward to his embraces day and night.

Immortal is my love for him,
He is an intellectual of worthy repute.

A knight to champion humanity,
He honours God's kingdom with his brave deeds.

I walk with him through the Garden of Eden,
He tempts me with the forbidden fruit.

I liken him to my favorite conversation,
Enamored by his wilful ways.

Strong as a giant oak,
Each leaf a companion and friend.
