Like An Artifact



You're like an artifact, a stupendous find.
You're often in my pact, always on my mind.

You're like a bird in flight, a flowing, agile soar.
You're often in my sight, always in my lore.

You're like conceptual art, a creative sketch.
You're often in my heart, always in my catch.

You're like a honeybee, a productive form.
You're often in my tea, always in my swarm.

You're like a precious stone, a marvelous charm.
You're often in my zone, always in my arm

You're like a heavenly star, a cherubic show.
You're often in my par, always in my glow.

You're like a symphony, a melodic tune.
You're often in my key, always in my swoon.
