POETRY: “Moment”


By Lindsey Guallpa

A cozy place with fairy lights
And the smell of pastry sweets
Music plays well into these nights
Love songs surround these streets

Talking with you calms me down
You soothe my clouds of gray
Your joy reflects all around
Your presence makes my day

Your smile brings me warmth
Your laugh that draws me in
Your voice I catch with every breath
You become my home within

I bask in your embrace
I love your playful grins
I love the way you tease me
And that’s how it begins

We head out to play and wander
Until we reach my place
With our sweet goodbyes I ponder
Was it fate that our paths enlace

This whole time I could not see
But in that moment I knew
Because it seems to me

I fell in love with you
