I tried to picture you in my mind

I tried to picture you in my mind,
A sunset of a thousand words,
Vibrant colors, rich darken hues,
All paled in comparison to you

I tried to picture you in my mind,
Soft pink cheeks, curly brown hair,
Bubbly laughter from a child not yet two,
The toddler was cute, but not as cute as you

I tried to picture you in my mind,
When Mother Nature called,
The roaring beast and the talking cockatoo,
Was not nearly as fascinating as you

I tried to picture you in my mind,
The ground it shakes, the mountains heave
Molten rock turned cold stones to goo,
But it wasn’t even half as hot as you


I tried to picture you in my mind,
The wind is free, master unknown,
Pressure unleashed, freedom renewed,
But not as passionate as you.


I tried to picture you in my mind,
The quiet meadow, refreshing surreal,
Cotton white clouds amidst splotches of blue
It was peaceful yes, but not as much as you


I tried to picture you in my mind,
The sweetest refrain I heard
Throbbing beats both old and new,
Was not as electrifying as you.



I tried to picture you in my mind,
Vials, potions, spells and charms,
Boling caldrons and magical brew,
Was so weak compared to the enchantment of you.

A thousand images, nay ten thousand more,
Flashed before my eyes,
Each one perfect, flawlessly supreme,
But this I say this one thing is true,
I’m absolutely crazy about you.

For your birthday I’d search for the perfect gift,
And travel lands to and fro
The best gift would be the most difficult to give,
For how can I give you…YOU!
