to the stars who listen: poetry

20. she is liquid star-shine

// written with love for my favourite, Emma Watson, though no words can describe how much I love her and how much she means to me and has done for me //

i. she is liquid star-shine, the cosmos melts at the sight of her.
satin skies wrap around her like blankets
her eyes are my favourite.
the galaxies smile at her, one of their own on Earth.

ii. her hair is a waterfall of melted chocolate,
her voice sounds like cherries taste.
Christmas spices infuse her poignant words
and her consonants crackle like honeycomb.

iii. she is strong as an oak tree
and beautiful as a rose.
when I see her smile, resting flower buds wake and grow open in my heart.
she helps me blossom and effloresce,
even on the darkest nights.

she wraps her satin sky around me like a blanket,
and I am home at last.
