I won’t back down, I’ll sing it loud
So that everyone can hear me
I’ll profess my love for you
Because I love you dearly
It must be known
I’m not alone
To venture on this journey
Through hard times
When lives combine
It becomes obligatory
And so we’ll live our fairytale
With a happy ending story
I mean, who am I to garner praise
When I’m blinded by your glory
What do clouds taste like?
Are they just a puff of air?
Or do they taste like cotton candy
That I would like to have and share?
Are they tasty on the taste buds?
Can you chew them with your teeth?
Are they sweet or savory
Or are they doughy needing yeast?
Whichever way you cook them
Will they dance upon your pallet?
Will they give you indigestion?
Or are they healthy like a carrot?
And however will I pick them
Do they come in large and small?
Can I wrap them up in paper?
Can I buy them at the mall?
Maybe I should leave the clouds alone
And gaze up in all their wonder
Until the clouds all turn to gray
And there’s lightning, and there’s thunder
Then I will have a home-cooked meal
Stay cozy by the fire
And dream about what a cloud tastes like
While bogged down in the mire
I counted the stars under the city lights
I saw them, just passed the clouds
They looked like bright, shiny diamonds
So I didn’t mind standing near cows
As I looked closely, I saw constellations
They told stories of how things used to be
Things that went back thousands of years
Much earlier than the years of A.D.
As I counted to a very high number
The stars all blurred into one
And I made a wish right there in that moment
That I would soon again see the bright sun
Sink, deeper than blue
Deeper than the colors
That they say are taboo
Long luscious yellows
Clovers of green
Juicy ripe fruit
We sometimes call tangerines
Filled up with nutrients and vitamin C
I dove in the ocean
And I swam the dead sea
Beige by the seashore
Violet deranged
Scarlet, live fever
Fierce and enraged
A simple pink flower
To keep you engaged
Then a round of applause
As you bow on the stage
I surrender my focus
My mind, led astray
That’s been formed over time
Just like molded clay
A sculptured Adonis
It’s perfection brings tears
Onto the on lookers
Giving applauses and cheers
Still I surrender
I give up loves embrace
As the tears fall from heaven
And land on my face
Into my tear ducts
And out of my eyes
Onto the floor
Into a puddle of size
She’s gone, not forgotten
A love that was lost
After I went all in
Without care for the cost
I loved her smile
The gleam in her eyes
The “How was your day, dear?”
My birthday surprise
But one day she left me
And I laid her to rest
Now my life’s lost its meaning
In my heart’s beating chest
I see her in flowers
I hear her through birds
Singing their love songs
In pitch, without words
I feel her in the sunshine
As I bask in the light
I miss her companionship
And the kisses goodnight
She had charisma
A radiant glow
I love and I miss her
Why did she have to go?
The cool stream ran mellow
Though white water did show
The stream was quite soothing
There was true ebb and flow
The forest surrounding
Was lush and extreme
There was magic and chaos
It almost felt like a dream
The flowers were blooming
The sun crept through the trees
And all I heard was a whisper
Through the leaves from the breeze
The forest seemed to be breathing
Like it had something to say
But all did get quiet
When night turned to day
Then the voices stopped speaking
And the wind settled down
Until there was no longer a whisper
Not a peep, not a sound
