His — Summary

Neko BelleRomantic

His touch was warm and inviting Like the first sip of tea in the morning It lifted me out of my bed and floated me around Spinning me on my heels, weightlessly His kiss was electric Like putting your tongue to a battery Feeling the shock that made you feel alive Your heart racing and pounding in your chest His eyes were comfort Like a big bed and an ocean of blankets after a long day Wrapping yourself in warmth and coziness Relaxing all your muscles and drifting off to sleep His words were music They were melodies in my ears Entire symphonies just waiting to be played Violins, cellos, harps all just whispering me off to better days His smile was the daybreak It could light up an entire night sky It was like the sun breaking through a dark, cloudy, stormy day It was the peace after the nightmares

Neko Belle's "His" is a love poem built from simple, everyday comparisons. The speaker describes a man she loves, taking one feature at a time: his touch, his kiss, his eyes, his words, and his smile. Each one gets its own image. His touch is like the first sip of tea in the morning, warm and gentle. His kiss is like a battery shock, sudden and thrilling. His eyes feel like a big bed after a long day, and his voice is like an orchestra.

The speaker feels safe, excited, and deeply happy all at once. The poem moves between energy and calm, so love is both a rush and a rest. The last image suggests the most. His smile is "the peace after the nightmares," which hints that she has known something darker, though the poem doesn't say what. The mood is warm, dreamy, and grateful, like someone counting what she loves most about a person.
