Hidden Emotion

You Are to Me

I could compare you,

my love,

to many beautiful things.

The wine-dark velvet petals

of the rare rose in the golden spring.

The moon, who's light

Shines through her scars.

The sun, with her aureate flames

Bringing warmth into my world.

But, I'd hate to be cliche.

So instead,

I shall compare you to a book, my love.

You are timeless,

with your words that are forever in my mind.

You hold within you wonderful worlds,

taking me on fantasy journeys as old as time. 

You possess my memories,

within the pages of your inimitable personality

and your boundless heart.

You are something I can return to

when I am lost in the great journey of life,

seeking sage advice or uplifting prose.

You are my solace,

my joy,

my heart.

You are my book.
