Compression

When you are tired

I want to hold you

close to my chest

so the beat of my heart

can flow through your blood

and quicken the adrenaline

that carries you through the day

When you are weary

I want to kiss

both of your eyes

with the warmth of my love

so the spirit can flood

through the synapses of your mind

as an eruption I feel for you

When you smile

I feel like the gods

have blessed my soul

with a million miracles

all compressed in one moment

to send me soaring through heaven

When you smile

oh Mona

my goddess

when you smile

my world is at peace
