Love Poem: YOU

YOU

I see thousands of bodies everywhere 
I try to find you in those snare 
Someone I'm trying to find 
Something that never leaves my mind
My silence defines your presence 
My voice rises with your excellence

Someone that can make my eyes spark 
For whom I'll wait till the lights become dark
From writers fiction to the kids rhyme
I tend to search you in every poem
I can tolerate every exhaustion
Just to see your ignition 

The warmth mixed in air of summer 
The essence of rain in sudden shower
You, the poetry that feels like archery
You, the illusion blurred in my memory 
You, the one hold me on the stormy nights
You, who turned my dark days bright

The hands warm my skin in December 
The eyes that I'll always remember 
The smell I miss in the air
The face I love to stare
The steps I can hear from distance
The shoulders where I find reliance 

I hold on to you even in my sleep
I remember you in my battles of grief
Our fate linked in a time frame
I love to wonder if you do the same
They say love finds you when you're ready
So embrace me when your steps are steady

Grab my hand when the time reach
Be a summer trip beside a beach
Find me when the weather is on your side 
Hold me before I miss the last train of life
