Daisy

"I love everything about you." I think

The way you make me laugh

Smile beaming in the green expanse of this hillside

I said we should go to a picnic

"To have some fun."

Take your mind away from what weighs you down

but I think the real reason was to have you all to myself

if not for a little while

Your eyes capture the sun in its glittering glory

reminding me of butterscotch candies

Heart warming and imploding

at the sound of voice

gliding over the autumn breeze

My fingers stroke

the necklace you gifted me on my birthday

I breathe deeply

Watching as your eyes

caress my form

Taking me in

I know, I know what you're thinking

And I am too

The pads of my fingertips trace the outline

of the cherry etched onto your skin

The red of the fruit contrasting

with the white of your dress and evergreens of the flora around us

I take your hand in mine

as you ask me for a dance

relishing the feeling

of having you close to me

Music wafts around us

as we laugh and spin

around and around
