Undiscovered - Ian Duquemin

The light cascaded beautifully
Upon the silk sheet bed
The candle threw its shadows
On the wall above her head
She looked much like a sculpture
With her features all on show
Exuberant and unrestrained
Amidst the candles glow
Her eyes were so magnificent
Like jewels not yet discovered
Yet here she lay in full display
The greatest gift uncovered
And then the slightest breath beside me
Proves that she is real
As never could a dream express
The love in which I feel
