you are an enigma
a greek vase full of oil paints
the glint off the blade of a sword
you are the youthful prince,
the joking jester,
the shining knight,
and the royal highness
of your own kingdom that you built from the ground up

you are the chiseled marble statue in the museum
with laugh lines engraved in your cheeks
you are a masterpiece who creates masterpieces
art flows from your fingertips when you paint
and from your mouth when you speak
both full of intricate details and ideas
your mind is full of concepts not yet revealed to the world
your eyes go wide when you are inspired

you are the natural beauty of a colorful jungle
intimidating and impending
yet delicate and stable
bursting with pure exuberance
you are the crystal clear pools of water
the dewdrops on the leaves after a tropical storm

you are a breath of crisp, fresh air,
blood pulsing, heart beating
energy flowing from your toes
as the soles of your shoes hit the ground while you run
circulating all the way to your brain that goes just as fast
you are enthusiasm and passion
exhilaration for living in every moment

you are gooey caramel encased in creamy chocolate
teeth tearing at sweet gummy candy
sticky peanut butter on the roof of your mouth,
you are smooth yogurt for breakfast in the morning
a speck of saliva on your bottom lip

you are the melting wax dripping off a candle
soft heat that guides the way in the middle of the dark
you are the smell of burning incense
the hazey smoke swirls in the air

you are a labyrinth
a paradox of simplicity and complexity
down to earth and in the clouds
an embodiment of individuality
elaborate as life itself
you can not be perceived with the average mind
you must be understood with the inner consciousness
you cannot be recreated
because you are timeless,
unique and extraordinary
i was blessed to have crossed paths with you
