Like that

Like the river passing through, 
Like the voices echoing in a cave,
Like birds migrating west.

Like the sun softly brushing my skin,
Like a shooting star in a summer night.

Like that and more is the love I have for you.

Profound, deep, magnificent
in so many ways splendidly indescribable;
Yet so delicate, so fragile, so volatile.

I watch you sleep while others die,
It terrifies my dreams.
I stand strong, eyes wide open, by your side,
drowning in tears caused just by my worst of fears.

Wrap your soul around me,
Travel to magical places,
Hold my hand: You Smile.

Like the angels in bedtime stories,
Like the wildflowers in a meadow.

Gardens of roses, skies full of thunder,
Playgrounds coloured by laughter,
Rain dropping on hot-burning asphalt.
The recently mowed lawn,
Priceless pages of the written word.

My love for you is so much more.
You giggle and tonight it is all that matters.
