The man that I love



His soul is a crystalline waterfall
That bears burning storms of hostility.
His eyes are a huge and bared wall
That exhibits the bedrock of nobility.  

His most valuable attribute: his heart.
Has turned him into a tireless warrior,
When injustices knocked on his door,
And darkness took his devoted love.
  
Affability is noticed in his gesture.
Virtuosity is expressed in his acts.
Being by his side is my bigger treasure,
Because I admire him like artists admire art.
