Metaphor

I greet you with a smile, oh divine gift!

you come shining through my window

like a ray of light

your hands pick me up and guide me

to a luscious garden

with greens and color

water and life.

The colors are all you, oh precious eyes!

you’re the breeze blowing softly in my face

a deep, calm breath

and just a gaze

you’re comforting silence standing still

intuition, understanding

acceptance and peace.

I greet you with adolescent giggles, oh butterfly!

you’re my prayers answered, a grin on my face

caution to the wind

eyes wide open

heart at once

blues with frozen gaze

skin of milk

blushing at life.

I greet you with open arms, my sweetest one

you are the wind, you are the wind

and you can blow

blow my way

I greet you overcome with joy, my freshest love

perfect as you’ll ever be

young and bright

emissary wisdom

settled home

A flower, you’re a flower

be an orchid

stay longer

you’re the one books told about

the feeling, the story

prince charming

in shining armor

heart breaker

heart mender

you’re the aged man exuding experience

the young horse forcing forth.

I embrace you with a smile, my dearest love

you are the sun, you are the sun

may our paths be one

may I serve your morning coffee

may I sleep to your caress

may I stare blank at your face

or look away in mild embarrassment

may I watch your perfect body never get old

may I witness your wild spirit never be tamed

may your light keep shining through my window.

And if our journeys have only brought us this far

may glorious be life, and exalted be love

may all things good come

may you experience bliss, peace, silence

may you embody joy

may your trail be roses

of your favorite colors

may their smell bring you smiles

may you walk on soft petals

may the thorns go ignored

may your I shine forth

may your love be abundant, ever-present

reassuring, oh dove!

may your life be brightened

as you’ve brightened mine

may our smiles cross, once more

may our gazes stare once again

may we make love, once and many more

on that cloud

at the end of the rainbow.

In gratitude and love,
