You Are Poem by Michael Koelliker

(Dedicated to possibly the first girl that has been
interested in my poetry, Lena, thank you for the inspiration)

You are the sign at the end of the road.
You are a luscious dessert a la mode.
You are the chain that pulls me along.
You are that never ending love song.

You are the swift water that dost erode.
You are the Light which I have been showѐ d.
You are the reason that here, I belong.
You are a woman to be held for long.

You are not to be left behind.
You are not to be led blind.
You are not to be confined.
You are beauty, e’er in my mind.
