My very first Shakespearean Sonnet written in 1984.
The reason for my love of you is clear.
It's not one special trait that hails my heart.
It's not the way you always fix your hair,
And not your shape that gave my heart a start.
It's not your haunting eyes that summoned me,
and not your vibrant voice that made me sway.
Neither the caring way you talk with me,
nor your walk makes me love you each day.
Your personality is more than fair,
But not the reason why I cherish you;
And though your smile may be beyond compare,
It is not that which makes my love so true.
Not one of these is what makes me admire,
Yet, all these things in one make me desire.
