Poem by Natalie Williams // Photograph by Leanne Surfleet
Your eyes shine bright like the colours of a blinking sun on a cloudless summer day
Your long hair the ever-changing shades of autumn
Your company brings the warmth and cosiness of a winter fire
Your personality and soul, a blooming flower, sprouting its beauty in spring
Your voice is the echo I hear in a seashell
Your smile is a sunrise after the darkest night
The twinkle in your eyes when you see a child flying a kite, or you find a meadow of flowers reminds me of the stars in the night sky
How long I’ve waited for that light to reach me and it’s finally arrived
You smell like cinnamon and Christmas and taste like love at first sight
Kissing you is like drinking hot chocolate for the first time
Mixed with marshmallow swirl
Your heart so pure, beats for adventure
And you take my hand in yours, we run into the gorgeous forest of your world
Picking roses and plucking petals off daisies
I say to myself as I watch your eyes and smile grow
I love you so
