Your face catches the sun
Then you look at me
Storms brew within my soul
I can’t simply say I love you and move on
I pause, lost in your ocean eyes
To die from your love—what words can capture that?
I die, and am reborn, again and again
Burning to ash,
Rising from the embers anew
Loving you is an extraordinary thing.
With you, I am proud of my womanhood
You celebrate me every day, my beloved
You usher in the day with sunlight,
And close it with the moon’s gentle glow
With a kiss, you make daisies bloom inside me
You inspire verses
As I’ve never written before…
And you laugh a happy laugh
When I say desperate things
That my foolish love makes me…
That one morning in bed,
We were cozy; my head was resting in your arms as usual…
You attempted to get up,
I wished silently for you to stay by my side
I held you back,
And begged for you to stay
Why must you have to leave me? I plead
My eyes were begging and quietly asking,
You said…”Relax my love, I am just heading to the kitchen and I will be back with the coffee!”
Then you started laughing at me,
In a loving way…
Your laughter fills the air,
As the rivers, find their way to the sea,
Your eyes shine with an inner light,
When you laugh, my love,
A solitary woman makes a wish
A mother reunites with her child
That’s the man you are in my eyes
You say you love me
And for the first time, I feel truly cherished
But this is certain—
For the first time, I feel loved, as a woman should be
My love, I love you too ❤
