Nothing Compares

There is nothing like the beauty 
of the sun as it melts into the sea, 
its red-orange glow enfolds me 
as the day slowly ebbs into night. 

Nothing quite as breathtaking 
as the colours painted in the darkened sky 
while auroras dance to unheard symphonies, 
like angels with their dresses in a swirl. 

There is nothing so calm and peaceful 
as the sparkle of a billion stars above, 
dotted silently on an indigo canvass, 
stretched as far as the eye can see. 

But all of this pales in comparison 
to how I feel when I am with you. 
When your love envelopes me 
you become the center of my universe. 

You can make me feel wonderful with a word; 
make all my troubles go away with a whisper, 
and turn my world around and upside down 
with a touch of your hand.
