A LOOK - 383

Adorning Your Cheeks

When I look at your cheeks,
it feels as if I'm seeing golden ripples
upon a vibrant sea.

A dancing rivulet,
touching all shores
with a tender feel.

When your cheeks widen,
I see petals of love,
smiling with joy.

A lone rock,
singing softly
the lyric of togetherness.

When your cheeks bloom
with crimson glow,
the rainbow blushes behind soft clouds.

Everything fades away—
except that golden dimple
adorning your dainty cheeks.

And my earth dances in joy,
romancing with the misty breeze,
hoping for rain on the way.

But more than rain,
it is your smile I crave,
the one that lifts me, wave after wave.
