Magnetic Valentine's Poem

Close to my house there is a used bookstore called The Book Nook. Its children's section had a set of magnetic words on a metal file cabinet. David and I walked over to the mall to play with the words all the time; it was one of our favorite dates. But, unfortunately, The Book Nook recently relocated to another space in the mall and with its renovation, the magnetic words were somehow taken away.
But! Happy ending! David bought me a Magnetic Poetry set (along with the expansion pack: Happiness) for Valentine's Day!

His clue was "something we used to do all the time but can't anymore." Isn't that cute? <3

So, to repay him for one of my favorite gifts ever, I've "written" this belated Valentine's poem.
(Punctuation added, of course.)

Let the petals of peaches dress your head
Together beneath the summer blue sky
the sun's wax smelling sweet,
we fiddle with tiny pictures of happiness.
My friend, love, ache & giggle!
The rust of sunshine full on you
brings me mad!
In light's pink gown I am not as warm
as in your arms.

It was a bit messier on the board. I had to stack an "an" on "warmth" and an "s" on top of that.
