Angel

a poem by Rini Antony

She’s an integral part of me
The sunshine in my life
Her smile could launch a thousand ships
Her tears could break my heart

Her innocence reminds me
Of a forgotten childhood
Of memories diminished
Of faded bliss

She gazes at my eyes
And probes into my heart
Her face inquires only once
Am I with her all the way

She ignores my fears
She ignores my anxiety
She places herself in my hands
And that strengthens me
