Swift like the wind
time flies with a silent thrust.
One year already
and I am still in awe.
In awe of your beauty
and the colours you bring.

Bedazzled by your charm
I awake with songs of thanks.
grateful for your virtue;
your worth will cripple the bank.
A hidden treasure you are,
Jewel to my crown.
what beauty lies in the world
when the universe sleeps in my arms?

Today I arose; the universe with me!
my baby girl,
my wife,
this one year has been amazing.
Each day with you is like a date unending.
breathing in your space is grace
and the taste of your lips leaves me amazed.
no puns,
I could spend forever in your embrace
and when you speak I can feel the grace.

Your voice, my darling, is sweet and tender
like ice cream in summer; melting away in a colourful slob of awesomeness.
so gentle, yet so powerful.
Men would have died in endless battles
trying to court this beauty beheld.
To this beauty, I will give my wealth,
and in the defense of your virtue, I will look
death in the eye.

My darling, to this marriage there is no end date.
Nothing comes in between.
Not sorrow, nepotism, or death.
To this love, I will give my last breath.
till the very last day, we'll walk our path.
Together; hand-in-hand. And in the days when age is against us, we will welcome it in love.
If it ends, we'll start again. This love is an unending series without rebates.
Happy Anniversary Baby!!!
