Your name lifts from my lips like dawn
Soft gold pouring over winter stone
Nothing else awakens the quiet
Quite the way your presence does
Memories fall open like worn petals
Their fragrance rising with your smile
The world changes color around you
Painting its ache into something sweet
Every place I stand turns warm
The moment a thought of you arrives
Shadows curl back into themselves
Learning reverence from your glow
One day the universe will dim again
Yet your name will remain luminous
A secret constellation carved in my ribs
Bright enough to outlive night
