BURNING BRIGHT

© RYAN GUILEY  

Her hair blows in the night,

As her eyes are burning bright,

With love to give in her heart,

As she is immaculate and sharp.

 

A twinkle is in her shining smile,

As I turn down the radio dial,

Proud to hold her tender hand,

Sparkling is her wedding band.

 

In August, I put it on her finger,

Knowing I would never linger,

That moment in time remains,

As she took my family last name.

 

Dreams and aspirations are inside,

My wife, best friend and bride,

She guards, while I protect,

20 years ago, we intersect.

 

The sparks flew that afternoon,

Hoping to see her again soon,

I knew that instant, it was certain,

She was the one with the hair pins.

 

Each time she walks in and appears,

I always look and just stare,

How fortunate I am to be her spouse,

As there will never be no one else.

 

All I can do is just to love you,

Our love goes on and is so true,

No matter who tries and destroys,

As I am so confident and poise.

 

I had a dream, as I walk by,

As I saw the sparkle in your eyes,

As the happy tears came down,

As I could hear you heart pound.
