i love the sky because it reminds me of you

38.

it is a beautiful sunny day

there is not a single cloud

in the ocean-coloured sky

i look at you

next to me on the warm golden sand

and know

that the sky,

as beautifully bright as it is now,

simply cannot compare to you.

..

the sun begins to lower out of sight,

doing so ceremoniously

with a dazzling spectrum of hues;

lilac, rose, peach, orange, pastel blue.

art to the eyes

like music to the ears

and i turn to you,

perched next to me

on this white wall's edge

as we watch the sun's graceful fall,

and the way the scenery

tiptoes over your skin

you are breathtaking

in the presence of nature

and i cannot tell which is more beautiful.

..

and when the sky deepens

into a navy void

dotted with twinkling stars

to keep hope alive,

even this darker beauty is

peaceful

tranquil

and reminds me of you.

i look at you

laying upon the velvet grass

that may as well be

clouds of emerald

right beside me,

and i am made certain

that the sight

of the stars in your deep eyes;

deeper than this night

or being far out at sea,

is indescribable -

you are indescribable -

and surpass the beauty

of the sky above us.

still, when i am without you,

i admit:

our surroundings are ethereal

I'm gazing around now,

but i love the sky

because it reminds me of you.
