If the soft duvet of your touch
covers and comforts me throughout the night, tomorrow, too,
will be a beautiful day.
If I can fill your eyes
with my dreams until they flicker like candlelight,
happiness will always find me smiling,
and I know when I rise again,
it will be a beautiful day.
If I can memorise the softness of your embrace
and feast on it for breakfast,
tomorrow will be a beautiful day.
If I can hear the sun rise
and feel its reflections simmer on your skin,
it will be a beautiful day.
If I can stroke the cosiness of your hands
while sitting with the beauty of your smile,
it will be a beautiful day.
If I can take long, slow walks in the park,
and savour the fresh melodies of your company
it will be a beautiful day.
If I can gaze into your eyes’ soul
and inebriate my senses with delight
while guzzling the flavours of your touch
I will ask nothing more
because it will indeed be a beautiful day.
If time takes time to relax
I will sketch soft replicas of your face
to secure deep inside my heart
and remind myself that every day is another beautiful day.
