Palace of Peace

I am not there yet

You teleport me there

Briefly

In the moments

I look into your eyes

Amber like embers of a log cabin fire

Nestled under a snowy blanket outside

Cozy inside, your eyes brim with words

From an ink well that never runs dry

Never perfect

The best frustration

***

There is a castle for us

At the beach

Close to the water

My favorite vision of us takes place there

We are under silk white sheets

In a tall white tent

One doorway flap is tied open

The other flaps in the wind

Those embers in your eyes

Are painted across the sky

Golden caramel splashed in creamy swirls upon dark chocolate ascending

Your eyes are understanding me

You chose to try

I slip my hand inside

Your white silk button down shirt

Resting it upon your neck

As we lean in to kiss

***

In your eyes

I see who I have always been

Coming out to thrive

I see what I am meant to be for the one for me

You are the catalyst

Made for me

So I could take glimpses of peace

On my way there permanently
