I am in love with it.
I am in love the colour of those eyes
And the way they shift from green to brown to icy blue;
I am in love with the sound of the tears falling
On green-veined leafy skin,
With the cool night breeze as it ruffles fields of hair
Spread out over the earth in deep sleep.
I am in love with that voice
That can rumble or boom or whisper or sing
Or just stay silent; I am in love
With the passion in the roots of that mind
As they delve deeper than I could ever comprehend.
I am in love with the heart that holds night and day
Yet shines in both;
I am in love with the thorns and the roses
And everything in between;
I am in love with you.
Your changing eyes, your shining smile, your rustling laugh;
I am in love with it all,
With the dark depths of your forests and your storms,
Your mysterious secrets and your rushing words
That spill over me like a waterfall trying to reach infinity.
It is in your arms that I find freedom,
Where the wind blows stronger
And the air tastes sharper
And warm days fill me with life
As if I am a seedling who has heard the call of spring.
With none other can I find such serenity
As I hear more in unspoken words
And see in a handful of soil the reflection of my eyes
That hold potential for unfathomable beauty.
It is impossible to be separated from you;
You are in everything I see around me,
From the earth to the sky to whatever strength I have
That grows inside me on your rainy days.
The seams in the bark where you are rough around the edges
Knit me back together and makes me whole,
Planting within me a joy infused with herbs;
You heal me with your infectious taste for adventure.
I will stay with you until the end of my time,
Through your cold months to the days you melt my heart
And sweeten my life with your light,
Through your raging fires and your soothing waters,
For I am in love with you.
