Untitled 2

Beautiful is what you are
Unbelievable how you seem
The taste of your skin delightful
The taste of your lips a dream
The sight of you undescribable
The reality of you unreal
You are like a manifested dream
A desire achieved 
A blessing in misfortune
A blessing in curses

You are like a crystal in a ton of coal
A dove in an army of lions
Rain in the draught
A feast in starvation
Riches in poverty
Light in the dark
The moon in the many stars
The sun in the forest fires
And an ocean among seas

You are all I see in the many pleasures of sight
All I need in many of mans cravings
My remedy to life's unpleasantness
Life in the many deaths
My protector among attackers
My flow in the waves of life
My surface from gravity
My pull from all pushes
And my sanity in a world insane 
You and only you

Life in the many deaths, a blessing in curses, these word pictures help the reader get in touch with their soul. If you are not in love now, you certainly remember well.
