when I see your face
my soul sparkles through the crescents
to absorb the mirror image of yours
my wrinkles flee from the past
to foretell the future
when I see your face
my darkest days are merely inconvenience
like a cup of ill-made coffee
my ailing body is just an excuse
to curl up next to you
when I see your face
the world around me dims
to a backdrop of the milky way
when I see your face
You greet me in the morning
in shyness hiding as a bud
waiting to bloom
with the first sun ray
I mesmerise your vulnerable beauty
with little patience
caress you with eager breaths
witnessing the full blossom
Ah!
You are the long black coffee I so savoured in the morning.
Ah!
You are the masterpiece for my artistic appetite.
Ah!
You are the calamine lotion for my mosquito bites.
Ah!
You are the cool breeaze before a storm on a scorching summer day.
Ah!
You are the mindfulness meditation for my anxiety.
Ah!
You are the healing music to my wayward soul.
your face takes up all the space in my brain
my brain fogets to tell my muscles to breathe
deprivation of oxygen stalls my heart
my heartache finally stops
at the worship of your portrait
