The bottom of my dress
ballooning out,
like a doily on the dance floor.
Feeling like a princess
As I held Mommy’s hand.
Twirling me all around,
Like a ballerina let out of
Her jewelry box.
My greatest dance partner,
To the best drummer in the band.
I wonder,
If you still lift your head,
From whatever held
Your attention,
When you hear my name.
And I wonder,
If you remember
The love we shared,
Until something else,
Grabbed your attention.
Spend the morning,
Wrapped in cold sheets,
My skin touching yours,
Your warm lips pressed to mine.
The sound of birds all around,
But your heartbeat loud in my ear,
The only song I’ve memorized.
The only thing that is certain,
Death.
Whether it comes today,
Tomorrow,
Or fifty years from now,
It comes.
Hovering like a bumblebee,
Waiting to sting,
Or rushing out of nowhere,
Unexpected,
Like a freight train,
Arriving at its destination,
Marking the end of one journey.
(your heartbeat loud in my ear)
You refused to removed
The small engraved dog tag.
And I didn’t mind
The soft, smooth silver
Cold against my cheek
As I rested my head
Over the top of your chest.
It wasn’t a distraction,
But more of a motivation.
I was just sharing
The same bed with
My husband, but my hero.
I was safe in the protection
Of your arms
And the warmth of your
Body heat under our sheet.
And I was finally relaxed;
No longer tense,
Because you weren’t
Out on a deployment or tour
But safe with me.
(at least for a little while)
Not tight,
But soft and gentle,
Like a bow around a present.
Keeping me safe and secure,
With just enough room to come untied.
To have you to wrap me up
In your arms again.

~Will you please tell me which is the best?~
He was pale. Opaque,
His skin the color
Of a ghost.
For, that's what he was.
I could see right through him
As he moved in front of me.
He was so close,
Right before my eyes.
I wanted to reach out,
Grab him and pull him close.
I wanted to rest my head
Over his exposed chest.
I could see his heart beating
Behind his clear, glass, translucent shell.
For a moment,
He was still alive;
Until I reached
For his hand,
And couldn't feel his wrinkled grasp.
I will not find a person better than you.
Instead, I will find a better me,
for maybe a better me
will attract a better you, someday.
Never ask a girl if she likes you or not.
Make her fall in love.
