Together we share a room.
Sunshine shines through
Our window in the morn
As I lay next to your sleeping form.
For Labor Day to give me this peace
Is more than enough to please.
I kiss you on the cheek,
You smile at me, asleep.
We've been apart for the last two years
So I hold these holidays dear
When you're home. Let's celebrate
The day; Happy Labor Day!

I've left my darkness
In the past,
Those days have passed.
I'm now the light that manifests
In a woman of twenty-one.

Like a flower
Budded and scented
My beauty unrelented;
Such power
For a woman of twenty-one.

I saw a bird soar,
It was something more
Than any regular fellow;
Its feathers were the most yellow
Of anything I've ever seen.
How does it remain unseen
With such a yellow gleam?
Did I see it in a dream?
I stopped and stared in awe,
Not believing what I saw.
Yellow and black,
Not a beauty it lacked,
I won't forget it soon;
I haven't for many moons.

Jubilance manifests
In many places;
Butterflies, trees,
And children's faces.
A child, to me
Is something I won't possess.
But surrounding myself with children
Can bring me joy without the stress.
But maybe someday
My feelings won't remain stagnant.
I'll want a child's artwork
On the fridge with a magnet.

Cruisin' convertible, top down.
Feeling fine, feeling fly;
That is until, of course
I get something in my eye.

Vibrant flowers full of bloom,
I hate to introduce the gloom,
But one thing I'd like to discern:
Will I have flowers this bright
When death is my turn?

It gives me satisfaction
And a heartfelt smile
That you'll be my lover
For longer than awhile.
I love you.
Me with my flowers,
And you with your game,
A hippie and a nerd,
In love without shame.
I love you.
What a sight it will be
When we make it to the end.
What sights we will see
At every curve and bend.
I love you.
My first kiss was with you,
Who holds my desires.
My last kiss will be you too
At the fall of our empires.
Guess what?
