love is
love is
cotton candy on a lukewarm summer evening
as the ferris wheel
runs laps around the
great big sky, coloured orange
by the sinking tangerine
against a fluffy white backdrop
of clouds and of you.
love is
a cup of hot chocolate
pink scarf wrapped around the neck
pinkie-promising through our knitted mittens
and your bright laugh adding colour
to the frosty winter air.
love is
cry laughing on the roof
as the light summer rain pelts
the city with its crystal shards,
heedless of the cold
because of the warmth we shared.
and love is
your eyes seen through fogged up glasses
as they light up when i carefully
place the macaron that clumsy me
took 5 hours to make into
your open mouth
as the spring breeze ruffles my hair
and tousles yours.
