Soleil
January 19, 2022
As she walks in
sunlight dances off of her skin,
illuminating the room with a soft yellow glow.
Golden locks of wavy hair
cascade down her shoulders,
laying perfectly on her sun-kissed skin.
Her smile is vibrant,
colorful,
and reassuring,
like the sunrise at the beginning of each day.
Like a gust of wind, she moves swiftly‒confidently.
My eyes slowly drift over, focusing only on her.
She is a star shining in the night sky,
she sparkles so brightly that your eyes can’t help but look.

Originally I was trying to personify the Sun, but then it morphed into more of a love poem written from the perspective of the protagonist who is in love with the girl she is describing. The interpretation of the relationship in the poem is up for interpretation. However, my interpretation was that the protagonist is in love with a girl who reminds her of the sun, something that is very beautiful and vibrant, but impossible to grasp.
