He's A Piece of Art

By Shakti Shukla

He's a piece of art,

In the most absolute way,

With museums in my mind

Failing to accommodate his beauty.

He carries dazzling galaxies

And sparkling stardust in his eyes—

Something entirely apart from

Pleasing the senses, but rather

Stimulating the spirit deep inside.

It doesn't take much

To be in love with him,

Just his starry presence in my lonely skies,

And I feel warm, even on the most freezing nights.
