Soft, velvet skin

glowing radiantly

underneath

the light 

of a 

full moon 

 

May you ever remain 

as

sweet

and

savory 

as 

sugar covered candied oranges

 

It is near you that I long to be,

spending each wavering hour of the night

tracing the outlines of 

galaxies

mountains

and masterpieces 

as a child bides their time 

drawing in the 

rich sands of a 

sun kissed 

beach
