Sunlight Sweetie

I like to get the inspiration for a lot of my poems from the people I spend most of my time around. There's just something about writing about those closest to me that feels genuine.

Her brunette hair tossed by the breeze

the sky is clear

her eyes are green

the summer heat is beating down

because of her

I never frown

her laugh is like an angel's song

her skin as smooth as water

I covet her above all else

to her my imprimatur

I wait for her with open arms

for the day she won't be scared

to love someone with all her heart

something she's never dared

Author's Note

I am open to any constructive criticism. When it comes to my poetry I want to be the best I possibly can be while still maintaining the uniqueness that makes my poems mine.

I really like this. I think it is quite beautiful and sweet. To start with I actually thought this poem was an admiration for a friend but the last stanza (which I particularly like) changed my mind on this. Really lovely poem.
