You Are

A burnt sienna sunset

Just before a blanket of stars

 

The sound of a thousand tropical birds

In a symphony of happiness

 

Soft hands and a gentle kiss goodnight

 

A warm heart and a listening ear

 

You are a morning saturated in sepia and played like a well-

loved memory

 

A favorite book, that I've read over and over, until I know it by heart

 

Threaded fingers and laugh lines

 

You are burned pancakes and a dream of a lazy Sunday morning

 

A cuddle and a kiss.

 

A shoulder to cry on.

 

You are a shelter on a beach during a tropical storm and the sunrise 

when the light shines through.

 

You are everything to me and I am nothing without you.
