I want to be the snow where you make angels and the powder where you fall

The leaves that catch your eye changing colors in the fall

The sounds that lift your spirit singing softly in the spring

The warm summers sun and the happiness within
The world is crazy in a perfect balance of naive non sequitur and delusional grandeur and I the tail that left the dog for the hat that just got madder
... or lack thereof
Is it all really that simple
Is it just black and white
and if it is which is wrong and which is right
Did I mean nothing that you could just leave me alone
a dimming star in the still of the night
Did I shine once upon a time
Was I ever the bright reflection in your eyes
Was I ever more than fading thoughts and passing goodbyes
Sometimes I exhale hoping to see
my last breath as it escapes from me
smiling through the misery
laughing, crying, dancing, free...

Elise
You touch my heart like springs new flowers
when you tickle my toes and we play for hours
You light my soul like summer's shine
as you touch your face and reach out for mine
You shake me up like autumn's leaves
with fits of laughter and sighs and heaves
Like a cool winters eve you hold me tight
snuggled into my heart, I kiss you goodnight
I saw you hopping this morning, now you have me hopping too
I'm not quite sure, but I might be a kangaroo
I saw you sliding around, I even heard you hiss
Now I'm slithering with you, after all you did insist
Today I was a cow, a dog and a cat
We slithered swam and climbed all before your nap
I'll be all these animals and I'll be your best friend too
I'll be anything you need
Even a Kangaroo
I first heard you giggle
and I couldn't hold my smile
Then I heard you laugh
and I sat down for a while
I watched as you spun and danced around the flowers
and treasured every minute and wished that they were hours

Your eyes speak only truth, your smile wide and free
You melt my heart again every time you look at me
your hugs are so sincere when you grab and hold me tight
and I remember what's important, and everything will be alright
For Ashley
I love you so much
Even when you sleep
And I can't hear your thoughts
And your mouth doesn't speak.

I love you so much
When you breath soft and slow
When you're driving and singing along to the radio.

I love you when you get so frustrated
And look as if you're going to cry
And you just sit down and look at me
Like I'm the best thing in your life.

I love you when you make me lunch on Sundays,
And lay with me in the sun,
Like two cats on the back porch,
I laugh and you come undone.

You're such a gentle soul
I don't know how you ended up here,
But I crave you all the time,
You subside all the sadness and fear.

You're an angel in the mortal world,
Too humble to ever let yourself see it's true,
You're the only one that can make me feel it,
And
I love you
I love you
I love you
Lol I wish this was actually true!
