You Are

You ,
         You are like the sun
          Lighting up my life.
You,
        You are like a song unsung
        Forever trapped inside my heart.
You,
       You are like a fire
       Crackling and burning, consuming all of me.
You,
      Your eyes are like gold,
      Lighting me up whenever they choose to look.
You,
      Your hands are like a soothing balm
      Healing my ailing heart with just a touch.

You,
      Your chest is like a warrior’s wall
      Keeping me safe within the city wall.

You,
       your shoulders are my pillow
      where I rest my head day and night.
You,
      Your mouth is like an angels touch
      Always soothing my scrapes and pain.
You,
      Your voice is like a volcano
      Melting my insides with just a breath.
You,
       You are like a fortified tower
       Protecting me from harm day and night.
