The Sunrise

A hint of wine covers the horizon of 
your cheeks like the magnificent 
sky punctuated by sprinkles of red.

Speckles of golden sunshine 
mingle with some wispy clouds 
of hair tumbling about your face.

Your lips curve upwards and 
corners of your brows bow down 
with the piety of morning prayers.

Your eyes become aglow with fire- 
an unquenchable flame to conquer 
wilderness of the unknown world.

The muscles in corners of your mouth 
finally come out of their secret abode 
and announce their glorious arrival.

The lips part- only slightly; the sun 
rises in all its glory and I bask in the 
splendour of your spectacular smile.
