"Eternal Fire"
 by Parker Lykins
 

              Her hair flows gently
                 like a waterfall
                 that perfectness
                  does not lack.

             Her cautious, cool smile
              helps relieve my soul.
                 The gentle image
               is burnt in my mind.

              The feel of her touch
               is soft and smooth.
              Like the deep feeling 
                of dove-like silk.

              Her priceless thoughts
               are eternal with me.
                 Her genius ideas
                 are inspiration.

              All she does and says
                   are recorded
                 in every crease
              of my restless brain.

                Every long night 
             is spent thinking of you
                Of your etiquette
             Of your care-free laugh

           Even though, she's not here
               I hear her, know her
               I feel her, want her
               I love her forever.
