Fallen: a poem

I've fallen for your beauty, a fantasy made real-
I swear, upon beholding you my charging heart stood still-
and all the stars upon the sky grew dim against your light-
and with each movement of your mouth, my fantasies took flight-

I've fallen for your kindness, benevolent and pure-
for all the world's deep pain and angst your heart would surely cure-
I'd never know a kinder soul, if granted endless days-
A truer friend does not exist, I sing your spirit's praise-

I've fallen for your dignity, your honest ways persists-
your tongue speaks only honest truth, here guilelessness exists-
You word is taken without doubt, assured is your expression-
You stand, steadfast, right and true, your word's without concession-

I've fallen for the lady that you are to those around you-
I'm happy that it was my fortune to have finally found you-
because I have, without a doubt, been blessed so endlessly-
to have been guided to the one that fell in love with me-

~Jalil
