Susan

By ScottN

A light in the storm;
A nymph, wandering through the woods;
A desert oasis;
A vision of beauty unsurpassed
in all the world.

All of these are you, Susan.
Next to you,
Helen of Troy would be a hag;
And the elfin beauty of Galadriel and Undomiel
fades into nothingness.

The say that love is blind.
If it is, may I never see again;
For I love you,
And you alone,
In all the world.
