Ode to Him

His smile gives her pause,
momentarily lost, in a sea of wonder.
His laugh makes her smile,
a tone, for only she ca hear.
His touch freezes her,
surrounded by Arctic, a breath she forgot to take.
His thoughtfulness makes her weep,
in a cloud of dust, alone in mangled emotions.
His child-like spirit makes her feel young,
like the kid, she had long forgotten.

He was there but gone,
a thought in the past, that seemed to be glued to her.
He rose from the depths,
a secret, she didn’t want to share.
He entered her world,
a giant aspiration, shielding her from hurt.

He didn’t know she needed him,
nor did she, until he arrived fueling her fire.
He didn’t know he fixed her,
small patches at a time, until she felt whole again.
His love sparks security,
shielding her, from the ugly world.

Him existing gives her purpose,
a challenge, he won blindfolded.
His crystal-colored eyes see through her,
baring her soul, leaving her limp and wild.
