You ask for words,
Words that show emotion,
Yet how can I can I write what is made with a potion?

You seek love,
A link so strong,
But can I show this in a toneless song?

I shall say you are the white moon,
Against the dark skies,
I shall say you make me swoon,
With those royal eyes.

The author's comments:
I am just a kid, so this poem is about romance in general. I liked writing this because it is beautiful, not because it involves love.
