A tear drop memory,
Sunset of pink,
A mist a blue,
My tiny hand held by you.
Splendor of love,
Rolling across the dewy morning grass.
Lips touch with soft passion.
Eyes that reflect matching heart beats.
My first bite of the ripened apple dangling in Eden’s summer breeze,
So tempting; I bite with a youthful ease.
We speak of our family’s new addition.
I can’t help but grin.
I gaze into her soft ice-cream face.
Another log on the toasty fireplace.
My princess swears she is but another Walden;
Walking talking brilliance.
She has my stubbornness.
A glowing moon; twinkling nighttime stars.
I’d be lost without her light.
As she casts the line into the trees;
I smirk.
She blames it on the kite flying breeze.
I smoke my pipe.
A void of darkness.
A temple of old memories.
Cold wet tears drench my face like a leaky faucet.
Days numbered like a calendar.
Sleep swallows me; photo album held tight,
My blanket in the cold forgotten night.
Time passes like the wick to a candles final smothering end.
My shadow is not what it once was.
Things change.
They always do.

Awesome poem, it is very well composed. Kind of cheesy in a way, how you used the adjetives. Might want to look for replacers.
