You

a poem by Sumita Jagannathan

Everytime I am with you
you make me feel I’m in heaven,
your touch makes me shiver
I know I’m in love’s alluring den

The way you look at me
through the dusky darkness of your eyes
those deep pools of brown and chocolate
adds to it all a ton of spice

You make me move with the stars
and explore the velvety skies
even when I’m on solid ground
I feel like I’m flying so high

You hold me close to you
and lift me to higher levels
you capture my heart, set my spirit free
all around I hear tinkling bells

You make me spin around
and turn my heart inside out
the soft caress and the warm smile
I know I love you, without doubt

Hand in hand, I’ll go with you
while you lead, I’m here to stay
we’ll traverse the world together
heart to heart we’ll forge our way
