Forever Princess
A small wrinkle in time being stretched
into an endless dream which only
allows me to feel completely
whole with her beside me.
To close my eyes to remember
is like asking the soul to forever sleep;
to stand alone in a blacken world.
Am I truly found or just lost
on a journey which never ends?
Her childlike laughter shatters the silence
that has echoed through a caverness heart,
protected by steel curtains and iron walls.
This forced barrier was broken with tender touches
of fragile fingers and through the heart of an angel.
Her essence is only matched in beauty
by one natural thing on earth, the evening sunset.
Heat of passion is quickly dispersed
through the placid azure waters of the sea
painted as if by mistake by tear-streaked
make-up of a mystical purple sky.
Her kiss would make a rose blossom
in the dead of a cold winter's night,
which tastes like the sweetness
of a fresh ripened Georgia peach.
In all ways to say I love you
her best way is just a simple kiss,
a simple hug, a simple smile,
and a cuddle motion to wrap my arms
about her delicate shoulders drawing
her closer to my heart and her safety blanket.
Drifting off slowly into the land of princess dreams
of perfection and happily ever-after,
she is all to perfect as I close my eyes shut
whispering the final “I love you” in her ear
to close the evening away.
