Overwhelming Love

his Eyes are the leafy root of a carrot,

Portals to the sustenance underground.

his Feet are bare but determined to go far.

his mouth is a canopy to a dense forest

Hiding from the world, what lays inside.

 

his flyaway hair, like a fallen piece of bark,

an imperfection that's part of a perfect picture.

his Thoughts are raindrops pouring off of an elephant leaf,

Small indentations flowing from a vast expanse.

his Voice is the wind, carrying me away to a better place.

 

his Charisma is Grandfather Mountain who holds old wisdom,

ever durable through the storm.

his Past, a collection of sand,

is molding into a seashell that will take a lifetime to form.

his Soul is a pinecone,

Guarded on the outside but holds something precious to me.
