Love Poem: Sand and Starlight

Sand and Starlight

Your hand touches mine, 
a tether of warmth shimmering like
starlight.
Days spill into nights, and still,
your embrace cradles me as the dawn 
unfurls, 
its golden tendrils brushing against our
sanctuary.
Your gaze-drowsy and divine-meets mine, 
and like whispers from another realm, 
our story unfolds:
bare feet gliding over enchanted sands, 
seafoam singing lullabies as the 
salt-kisses breeze binds our laughter,
a spell spun by our souls. 

Your smile ignites constellations in my chest, 
and when shadows creep,
your steady hand becomes my anchor,
drawing me to the light. 

My heart- 
graced by your touch, 
swells with the enchantment of your 
kindness,
which winds itself softly through my every fracture.

My rock- 
you quiet the restless oceans within, 
still tempests with your unwavering 
presence. 
With you, I exhale, 
and drift into the haven of your love's 
magic. 

My love- 
I treasure you, 
the glowing fragment of our tapestry 
and the radiant path stretched 
endlessly before us. 
I love you, an unbroken thread in the loom 
of eternity;
our souls have danced to this tune 
since the beginning of time, 
and even when only the stars remain,
they shall
bear witness to the
dazzling fire of us.
