You're a rainbow after thunder
You're the apple in my pie
You're everything I've ever loved and more
You're the source of all my wonder
You're a pure blue summer sky
You'll always be the one that I adore
It seemed the day I met you that before had washed away
I quite forgot the way things used to be
I was passing for a moment then you smiled now I must stay
No other girl could mean as much to me
You are Marks if I am Spencer
If I'm paper you're the ink
I can't believe that you could love me too
You're the truth before they censor
Every notion that I think
Is it true the world was modelled just for you?
I see you when I fall asleep I hear you in a crowd
I want to know the little things you say
When skies are cold and gloomy you can clean the blackest cloud
I want to be beside you every day
On a day that's cold and raining
You're the bus that stops to wait
You never make me stand behind the queue
You're a smile when I'm complaining
You're a lift when I am late
When everything looks old you're still brand new
Please tell me that you'll never leave I been alone too long
Now solitude would be too much to bear
And all I have to do is close my eyes and hum a song
To feel you stood beside me everywhere
You're the biscuit at my tea-break
You're the sugar in my tea
Yours are the words in every perfect phrase
You're the special cakes the guests take
You're the sweetest thing I see
You're all the best of all the better days

Hi Poet,
You put a lot of work into writing this, so I could not leave without making a comment.
Ages ago, I got into the habit of putting loads of sugar in my tea. I started with one spoonful and then gradually worked my way up to four. One day, in the Gibson Desert of Western Australia, we ran out of sugar and I finally remembered what tea tasted like. I can appreciate the sentiment behind this poem but if it were tea, I’d want to taste the tannin and other tea flavours.
I think your rhyming and meter are fantastic; I cannot rhyme my poetry to save my life.
Thanks for posting this,
Regards, Peter

Absolutely brilliant I thought I'd found my favourite verse and was going to quote it then read the next and that was equally good.

This one I really like but then I could say that about them all. The rhyming is spot on and it scans perfectly . Finding your poems has made my day I'll be back for more
