You Have (Mona Lisa)

You have an enigmatic smile
You have a heart that's born to fly
You have a grip that holds me tight
And you have lips that open me wide

You have a mysterious way with words
You have a memory for the absurd
In your soft harbor my storm is calmed
And you light up my fire alarm

You have a shadow that leaves no doubt
You have a cast of light rain out
You lean forward and stare me down
As you move a gasp, my only sound

You have a throat of marble tease
You ride the stairs with practiced ease
The bannister carved will softly yield
And you have a polished will to please

You have a glorious warm glow gaze
You have the words to savour my haze
You have hours measured out in days
I hope you'll always feel this way

You have
