In the Scent of Peonies

In the scent of peonies I drown, 
That you brought with a tender smile. 
Their perfume lifts me gently down, 
As I bask in your arms awhile. 
You’ve lit a fire deep in my chest, 
My only harbor, calm and true. 
You shine like dawn, a light that’s blessed, 
Where every moment feels brand new.

You’ve sparked a flame inside my heart, 
To warm you through the coldest night. 
You are my home, my shield, my chart, 
You chased away my every fright. 
Your care brings warmth to every day, 
Respect — the air I breathe so free. 
Your eyes recite a sweet ballet, 
A poem written just for me.

This floral touch, like soft caress, 
You gift me with a joyful grace. 
Our life’s a tale of happiness, 
Where love burns bright in starry space. 
I thank you for your thoughtful ways, 
Your gentle gaze, your patient art. 
You come home tired from busy days, 
Yet cherish each minute heart to heart.
