EVERYTHING ABOUT HER
She smelled like a mix of cinnamon and ivory soap
A beautiful scent that smelled like heaven
She had sparkling eyes that gave me hope
And the pain inside of me began to lessen
She had a smile that could warm the coldest night
It made me smile too and put me at ease
She had a laugh that gave the world life
And put my worries far behind and I was at peace
She had a mind that could set the world afire
A rebellious soul is what she had inside
An entire nation she would be able to inspire
But it's just us here in this field open wide
It wasn't the way she looked
It wasn't her body shape
It was more what she learned in books
That made her so great
It wasn't the color of her hair
That her look like a queen
It was how she warmed the air
With heat shimmering around her like a dream
It was everything about her
That made me write this poem
It was everything about her
That gave me feelings she'll never know.
