NO COMPARISON
Which flower is
As bright and colorful
As your cheek?
Which other rose
Has an aroma
Close to yours?
There is no way
Any poet could write a poem
As kind, soft and beautiful
As the words you always say.
Which star is as bright
As the light in your eyes?
I am so wrong really
When I try to compare
The sun and the candle.
