Sweet
Pure vanilla dropped upon the words
Lavished in a language as we speak and seek
Body talk, in breezes and in thunderous strikes
Sweet

Warm
Glowing coals that ignite in sudden heat
Lasting longer as we grow so much, closer to the touch
Songs of all the travels taken shared without a sound
Warm

Deep
Melting into every thought an accompaniment majestic
Lining every mile on our own erases of the aching of alone
Dreams and wishes filled with thoughtful admiration
Deep

Sleep
Assured of respite when the struggles drain us weary
Devoted to the note and say, of tender triumphs every day
Resting in the arms of my true other rocking on the waves
Sleep

(smiles) Awwwwwww, I love this, sweet friend, I just love how you began and started each stanza in chronological fashion with the word from your title and made such sweet lovely sentiments for each word throughout the poem! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kathleen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
