You Are

by Kate Demeree

You are the sun
Rising early
On a foggy morn
Over the river
As I sit thinking
Of
You


The air
That I breathe
Deeply…deeper still
Inhale
Taste the essence
Is you

You are
The moon, the stars
In the night time sky
Drifting lazily
Above me
Just out of reach
As I sigh

The feel of silk
Draped across
My thigh
Smooth
Soft
Enticing


The first thing I think of
As I wake to a new day


The word I whisper
In my sleep…deep
Wrapped in the sheet
Trapped in grateful
Surrender
To the dream
Where I am free
Free
To love you
Deeper still

The beginning
In the morning
The ending
Of the day
The kiss
Of dew
Upon the rose

The first and last note
Of the melody
Sung by my soul

The missing piece
Of the puzzle
The one
That fits
Right
In
The
Center
The core of me

The breeze
On a summers day
Blowing hot
Across my skin
Drying the glisten droplets
Sprinkled there

You are
All I ever wanted
Everything I need

long time ago, perhaps..but the feeling in this poem is timeless

This is the example of loving someone with your whole being. So much that every single object is associated with the person. Every single association brings him alive.And Kate, this poem of yours is vibrating with your love 'alive'.

Wow! This is beautifully expressed in every way, from the chosen words to the lay out of the form, through the ever-changing images of each part of the day. A wonderfully touching expression. Excellent!
