Love is far too inadequate
to encapsulate what I feel for you,
It transcends mere sentiment,
It's the very essence of existence shared with you.
Your scarlet tresses ignite my passion,
In your dark, kohl-rimmed eyes, I find solace,
Your lips, so perfect, so succulent,
Each taste a sweet symphony of desire.
Yet I must cloak my emotions,
Conceal our love in monochrome hues,
For the world isn't prepared to witness
Our unique tale of affection.
Try as I might to harbor resentment,
At the sight of your face, it dissipates,
Every fiber of my being brims with adoration,
Yet, despite it all, you remain beyond my grasp.
You are my truest love,
My soul's eternal companion,
You are, and always will be,
My Celia St. James.
