Shall I compare thee to the moon's light?
Like royalty you perch on the throne of a Queen
And dance like a wild thing in the dark of the night
But at the dawn, you are nowhere to be seen.

A mysterious glow emits from your soul
Like the shine in your eyes, it glistens
For when you speak, I know your words are true
And I can't help but stop, and listen.

For as long as I live, you'll be in my sight
Like the sky is always in place
And just like a bird launching off into flight
You'll leave here without even a trace.

So long as the moon shines in the night
I'll never let you out of my sight.
This was probably the first poem I've ever written. It was actually an English assignment and we had to write our own rendition of William Shakespeare's ''Shall I compare Thee''. It was so well received by my teacher and classmates, that I decided to share it with you wonderful people! :heart: It gave the inspiration and confidence to write even more poetry, which I'm hoping to put up soon!! :D
