Cherish

Cherish. I cherish your beauty

Upon which others look

With envy

With desire

With admiration

With love

With wholesomeness

With hopelessness

Cherish. I cherish your benevolent smile

So big and bright

Tilting up

At each corner

Two deep indents

On each cheek

Teeth showing

As white as

The moon

As straight as

An arrow

Lined up

Even

Cherish. I cherish your lips

So full and lush

As ripe as

Apples in

The summer

As red and

As juicy

As round and sweet

As strawberries

In spring

Cherish. I cherish your eyes

As luminous and captivating

Capturing and putting all end

To heart

Glittering in moonlight

Radiant in sun

So vibrant

Cherish. I cherish your hair

The silken strands

So full and rich

Falling in dark waves

Like water

Rippling

On the river

Lifting in

The wind

Like a feather

Flowing soft

Light

Through air

Cherish. I cherish your skin

So soft

Like the cream

Spread on top of

Full bellies

Golden

Like fur

Like the sun

Rising, then setting

Cherish. I cherish your step

Quiet

Like rain

Dripping

Rhythms

Beating like

Small drums

Big steps

Little steps

Closer

Then farther

Cherish. I cherish your vehement laughter

So sweet

Like music

Playing

Full of

Life

Enlightening

So beautiful

Extreme

That I

Cherish.
