~ You Are ~
You are a full moon
lighting up a midnight sky
or the colors of a rainbow
in a blazing arch flying high
You are an explosion of carnations
in a dark space
or the unexpected scent of sea mist
miles away from an ocean place
you are a black pearl
a rare wine
a smooth stone
a piece of amber
you are a rare coin
a perfect sunset
a shooting star
a treasured trinket
You are a love letter
that is tattered and torn
you are the scent of jasmine
perfuming the air after a summer storm
You are nutmeg and rare spices
an ancient bottle of exotic oils
arriving on sailing ships
from West Indies to our soil
You are a flower pressed between pages
a crystal reflecting rainbows
a golden goblet from a pirate’s chest
You are an old soul
from a place centuries old
You have traveled from somewhere in time
all of this way, so I could love you
and I do
