eclipse

sunflower

there you were,
standing in your
yellow aura

the sunshine of your
smile, imprinted
in the palette of my mind
as the softest and brightest
of daffodils.
your eyes,
painted with
golden flecks
and chocolate pools
your hair a collective
shade of the deepest
parts of my soul, dark
and distinct against
the daylight
that collapses
to its knees
when it reaches your cheeks.

i outline you in my heart
with the clearest acrylic
so as not to ever forget
your form and the
way that it nestled to mine.

my forever sunflower.
