Xeki - Hello Poetry

It's cold outside

Can't you feel it?

Your hands are frozen stiff

Come inside, wrap this warm blanket around you

I will make chicken dumpling soup, stay awhile

Tell me your name
So I may taste its flavor as it rolls off my tongue

I'll start a fire, recount to me all your favorite stories

Roll biscuits with me, confess to me all your regrets

Cut vegetables and pick seasonings beside me, show me all your scars

Open your heart so I might know you

Feel my warmth as I clasp your hands in mine

Let me help sooth your aches and pains, I'll pass you a bowl

It's much too cold outside

And good food is better with company

Can't you feel it?

Dine with me awhile, feel that you are home here

Caught in an Artist's Eye

Oh, to be loved

How beautiful and painful and wonderful it is to be loved,

Your looking at me and laughing and smiling and existing with me at this very moment

Choosing my presence

God, is it true?

To be loved this much?
I didn't know

But oh how wondrous it is to be loved,
To feel so full

To be loved is to be changed, watch as I crawl into your heart and make a home in your soul

Let me rest there a while

***** Mirrors

One day I'll clean my mirrors
I don't really know if I should
It feels too much like erasing a past
Of which I cannot reach anymore
The clock goes only one way
In our little minds
Your ghost lingers everywhere
In everything I see and touch
Wherever I go I'm always followed by your shadow
I don't know how to feel about it
I don't miss you
Strangely enough
But I think of you often
How could I not, when I see you in everything I do?
When I make a grilled cheese
Take my long board for a ride
Or sitting in the back seat crowded between two people
Every time I travel
And especially when it rains outside
When I smell the fresh sage on drives
Even when I swing at a park and fly a bit too high
You seeped into the fine details of my life
My ***** mirrors made used by us
Together
These small things still make me smile
The memories so fond in my heart
I feel I shouldn't clean my mirrors
Not from longing or sorrow
It just feels strange to not have you in my life
Yet still love the time we had together anyway
One day I'll clean my mirrors
I don't miss you
But my back door is left unlocked if you ever want to come home

Knowing you could never have been a waste

Wishes

I fear that my heart yearns for us to go back and be kids together
For us to go forward and be adults together

My, you are so lovely
Please
Stay holding my hand softly for every second
So I might be near you a bit longer

I will hold you close in every life time, pull me by the hand so that I might follow

Who Needs Unbrellas?

I've always held a love for the rain in my heart
Cold gray skies and thick Coates
Windows of the world washed over with earth's most beautiful of diamonds
So important to all yet so simple it goes overlooked
Ungrateful eyes never see the bigger picture
Or the beauty laced through the smallest of cracks
I never understood the need for umbrellas when the rain was more beautiful than any crystal or mortal possessions
When it starts to rain, I can see her
She is loving, the most caring of mothers
She tucks us in with a thick airid blanket of clouds and fog
Chilly to the touch but warm and comforting in the soul
And as the droplets fall fast against our surfaces
She kisses us with all her heart
Smiling as the cool water pools in the crevices of the world and my hands
Overflowing onto my shoes and face
Spreading her life and love through all she can reach
Watching her children flourish and play
Even when I am not outdoors and able to feel her embrace I know she waits for me on the other side of the glass
And while she waits patiently, she plays with me
Racing water drops against eachother and tracinging their paths down my windows
And making me all the puddles to jump and splash in I could ever ask for
Nourishing my favorite flowers and plants to show me she cares
She's always been the best playmate, and her toys never cease to give me joy and wonder
I've always loved the rain
And I know she loves me too

Rainy days will always be my favorite

— The End —
