Poetics: Color me spring – Bathe my Soul

32625_416609081787030_1132518906_n

You came into my life

So innocently, so quietly

I didn’t notice you at first

You sat to the side

You said a few things

Your watched me

You took me in.

Days go by and I watch you now

You sing magic into my days

I awake to you, sleep to you

You make me see life so differently

Days now live

Night’s dance

Vivid existence.

No longer am I monochrome

Colours ablaze, amaze me

I am never to be sated

Emblazoned on me

Rich shades of blue

The deepest purple

Wash over me.

You have bathed my soul

My heart treasures you

I am folded into every hue

Enamoured in your world

I am illuminated

Dazzled

Gratified.
