I've changed this so much and so often yet I still come back to what I dont like yet I do like because it was the essence of what I wanted to badly write

Dave

When I saw the sun kiss you on a summer's morn
And moonlight kissed your hair on the day you were born
When I saw the look in your eyes
A kind of crimsom mess
The swirl of the world beneath your feet
Flowing your dress to match your hair
And the love of your eyes
Was sad and deep and warm
I saw the tilt of your nose
Light the smile of your lips
The love of yourself
A sense of belonging in your time and space
A deep laughter in your throat
Echoing the world's embrace

I see you in the world
I cannot see the world without
You in it's heart
And a smile like a roustabout
But sometimes I see an upturned nose
And a furrowed brow
And I wait for the sky to clear
And move the thunder loud
To sink to an early red dawn
Of another summer's morn

Dave,
Your words have such a warm feeling about them.
As I read this the words just seem to flow along with the classical music I am listening too.

The Classical music is by King Crimson, the title was Prelude: Song for the Gulls. Very beautiful music to write and read poetry.
So is Mozart piano Concertos.
