Smile so vibrant, like a 1000 watt bulb,
I'm momentarily blinded, turn into the monster Hulk.
Green with envy, that she chose hymn over me,
Yet instantly calmed, when I hear the lullaby.
Eyes so sparkling, diamonds lose their sheen,
Piercing through me, what she's seeing I'm keen,
Will she look at the beast, I become when she's gone,
Or will she be the compassionate monk, and see my beauty alone.
Face so vivacious, its like a kaleidoscope,
With her mercurial expressions, I can hardly cope.
She rubs me accidentally, releases the Djinn from the lamp,
Her only wish to be left alone, my eyes become damp.
After years of suppression, today I am again bursting with rage,
Seeing your photo on the web, soothed this beast back into the cage.
