Raisa

She’s a sweet thing
Gorgeous hair, the loveliest of eyes
Uncomplicated heart, unassuming part
expressive a face, finest art

If you offer her your hand
she’ll give you a hug
offer her your attention
and she’ll give you devotion

She waits for me
every single day
delight returns to me
every single way

She’s mostly silent
speaks none such
talks only with touch
she can’t enough

I can rest my breath
whisper none
yet we grow closer
every single sun.

My princess of pearls
with a lovely twirl
a tail so bushy
such a pretty girl.
