Green

You are the green in my life. The parts all molded around my heart, Leaving your mark wherever you may go. You are the parts that I love so much. The flowering bits that grow and thrive. The twisting vines Snaking their way, Curving around each of my veins Until there is no life without your life. You are the most bountiful garden; My hands contouring your budding skin Waiting for this love to bloom. The specks of green are lily pads Floating in your eyes & I am oh so careful to not disturb These precious ponds. Everyday I'm finding new secrets On your skin, like the moles on your back And the flowers in your head. You are the greenness that often engulfs my soul Seeping through my pores As if I were your garden Your flowers, your lilies and your ponds. As if I were the green in your life as well. You are the grass stains on my knees That never seem to give way No matter how much I scrub. Sooner or later, I'll know to give in And let these marks lay permanent as a reminder That you're here to stay. I've never felt a green like you. You are the deepest of stains And the heaviest of hearts. And I'll harvest these moments of sunshine As long as they shall thrive Within my grasp.
