I will never grow tired of our love
we lie awake under the sheets
legs entangled
the softness of your feet
our late night prattle
smiles and laughter
the faint glow of the nightlight
the hum of the fan
your head finding comfort
in the crook of my arm
I brush my fingers through your hair
and kiss your cheek
we dream, we sleep

a tea bag steeping
diffusing in porcelain
drink and be happy

water lilies float
atop the water, serene
blooming; pink and green

Raindrops glistening
Shining diamonds in the sun
Sodden evergreen

Skin like porcelain
Ivory, milk and honey
Your kiss pacifies

Fields of green
below skies of blue.
Immaculate beauty
just as I see you.

You rock in your chair.
The breeze ruffles your hair,
but don't ever fret:
I will be there.

Through the laughter
and sadness,
till we are old and gray
I will be with you
Forever I'll stay.

A cup of tea
Sits alone on the table.
It speaks to me, consoles,
And tells me all sorts of fables.
I sip its nectar,
Amber and sweet;
Warms me from my head,
Down to my feet.
The thunder roars outside.
Cloudburst!
The heavens frigid deluge;
Sipping rays of sunshine
My warm refuge.
Eyes wander,
The sky’s still gray.
I close my eyes,
I shut off the day.

Doting words soothe
Like the whisper of a brook.
With love, spoken,
My heart they took.

I'm lost in your eyes.
Shining beauty like gemstone.
Hearts entwined, always.

Goldenrods and oak
Flecks of emerald and amber
Awake! vivid spring
