I see your reflection behind me
And fall back into your embrace.

Your footsteps fell silently on bright wood,
Fell silently, like the kitten that plays
Around our feet.
Your breath on my neck is soft like fur,
A purr rises from somewhere deep and
Contentment rumbles.

Sunshine rolls out from your smile
Glows behind your eyes
Lighting up their skies
To a brilliant shade of blue
Burning color into your high cheek
And tricking freckles onto your nose.

You and I, falling lazy to the sofa
Holding your face, hair in my hands
Makes my fingertips tingle,
Delighted. Tangled.

Lighter than the breeze
And dizzy like the leaves it blows
Dancing, tumbling over the sidewalk
On this clear winter day
Shards of cold can’t pierce
Nor can freezing wind clear my mind
With you, warm, fending off the world
