is he a child of nature herself?

he is a pleasant december afternoon

a windy summer evening

and the first raindrop

that doth touch the soil

nature did cradle him upon her bosom

he is everything sunny and bright

i see traces of his presence

everywhere i go

waveringly and reluctantly

my heart makes a feeble attempt

at distancing myself from him

i wish i could collect his warmth

in a chest, and store it

for the colder days

i fear that this endearing warmth of his

that lights festive bonfires will

grow strong enough to burn forests

and my soul alike

i fear that i will wither away

in his scorching heat

drown in his cloudburst and

lose my way in his cerulean torrents

incompatibility and discordance terrify me, my love
you best believe i will smile at you when you peek out of the clouds,
sway and spin in your gentle downpour and run to soak in your brackish tides

to me, you will always be pretty
pretty enough to make the moon shy away and hide behind cloudy drapes
