My vision brought you to me. You covered my face with your love. Gentle kisses took away my pain. From our first embrace, no more tears. You sheltered me from my own rain. You opened new doors and held my hand. Dinner for two and candlelit eyes aglow. Luminous skin and a scent of Mediterranean. Lips that tasted like chocolate dipped strawberry wine. Dried flowers hanging upside down. Mementos kept in our secret place tucked away in a poem. Berteena Harmony of the Soul 10 February, 2019
