Because For Matt Caliri's -" I Love You Because.."

Because                     for Matt Caliri’s Contest  “ I Love You Because..”

Because…
Your eyes lift your soul 
to my lips
and 
vibrations of essence
swarm my emotions.
Scenes play as I gaze 
in my mind
of
time to come
where
I understand you 
through all eternity.
Your smile leads me
to
my better self
and when you touch me;
it is balm for my spirit 
and
fire for my heart.
Without your whispers
I see no light.
Darkness is cold.
Yet when we walk
side by side
your shadow
melds 
into mine.
As the Banyan trunks
grow together 
with twists and bends
ever sturdy and strong
so is our passion together.
Therefore,
a gift so pure;
relentless in giving
as if it were 
lingering fragrances.
All this 
Is Because
