of smoke and mirrors (for Lan)

lights    mirrors    smoke
I see them but    in another way
I don’t because of you    you are the light
that has vanquished darkness for me
you are the mirror of my dreams
the incense that for me
makes life a precious thing
oh light within light
oh mirror of joy
oh fragrance of love
I cannot find words
in which to fit my affection
save one: You
