My Sunshine
Only the heavens know what she was crafted from
but right here right now it did not matter
She is the only thing I see
it is as if I am really seeing her for the first time in all her beauty
Her lips crooked with a drop of whiskey on her tongue
Her eyes gentle and content but that devilish grin reveals just a hint of sin
Her strong shoulders lower as she lets herself go
I can almost see the weight of the world roll down her back and onto the floor
Nothing has ever sounded sweeter than her soft breath of relief and with that
She was free
I have never seen a smile so pure and so wholesome
She stands there in the kitchen wearing nothing but my button down shirt
She tilts her head and shoulders back opening up like a flower
the sun seeps into her copper skin
filling her with its warmth and light
She is finally whole
It was as almost she was originally crafted from the sun
