You Are Beyond What I Can Define : An Ode to the Enigma



You are beyond what I can define,
An enigma that eludes my grasp,
My heart swells, my spirit uplifts,
As I ponder the depths of your being,
Your essence like a mystery untold,
Yet somehow, I feel I've always known.

I hope my smile can say it all,
Express the awe that fills my soul,
As I gaze upon your wondrous form,
A marvel of creation, a masterpiece divine,
A being so rare, so beyond compare,
That mere words cannot encapsulate.

You are the enigma that eludes my grasp,
The puzzle that I can't solve,
Yet I revel in the mystery,
The paradox that is your existence,
A contradiction that defies explanation,
A riddle that invites contemplation.

My heart swells, my spirit uplifts,
As I delve into the depths of your soul,
Uncovering secrets, unlocking doors,
Revealing layers upon layers of complexity,
A labyrinth of emotions, a tapestry of thoughts,
That leave me breathless, in awe of you.

Your essence like a mystery untold,
A universe waiting to be explored,
With galaxies of emotions and stars of dreams,
A nebula of desires and a black hole of fears,
A cosmic dance of light and dark,
That leaves me in wonder and amazement.

Yet somehow, I feel I've always known,
That you are beyond what I can define,
A force of nature, a phenomenon of life,
A being that defies limitations and boundaries,
A reflection of the infinite, the eternal,
The embodiment of all that is good and true.

So let my smile say it all,
The gratitude, the admiration, the love,
That I feel for you, for your presence,
For the mystery that is your being,
For the joy and the wonder that you bring,
To my life, to my heart, to my soul.
