Without Comparison
brighter than the aurora borealis
glitzier than the Times Square ball dropping
lovelier than a field of fragrant lavender
sparkle of light sprays grander
than a hundred thousand stars
more enduring than the Milky Way
a splay of radiance deeper
than the Grand Canyon
mystifying as a coral reef
a glow to overshadow the moon
a permissive luster to melt the sun
shimmer of light so dazzling it blinds
nothing compares
to the brilliance of your smile
when you look at me
