I look in the mirror
and see a wonderful girl
with big brown eyes and short brown hair
I smile, what a contagious smile
I can't help but smile even broader
I muster my body
I think of all the perfect thin models
and embrace myself out of joy for not looking like them
I love all my weird habits
as well as my beautiful
character traits
and I love the fact that I'm
completely unperfect.
I appreciate everything
my life offers for me,
I am grateful for every instant
I am able to enjoy my surroundings.
I have to admit
I have fallen
deeply in love
with myself.
Good night, my Baby
Visit me in my dreams maybe.
We will dance
Until the end of time.
In my dreams.
Every night.
As if we see each other
for the first time.

Always in love
Always in my mind.

Disturbers of dust,

shedding your peace

compensatorily, capering

through eyebeams to

become real.

How else achieve ideal

ugliness?

Russian Doll nakedness

opening to the possibility

of beauty.

Exhausting the pretension

of its arbiters.

Bow to
the greatest thief that ever thieved.
I can steal opportunity from
myself
with ease.

Bow to
the greatest liar that ever lived
I can kid
myself
if I so please.

Bow to
the greatest killer that ever breathed.
I can leave
my dreams
deceased.
There's Love that makes the world go 'round
There's love that lasts forever

But, Love for you is so profound
                      I'll
                   Never
                   Leave
                      You
                     Ever!

November comes
with the wild geese
in their V like memories
of an arrow flying
too close to the sun
and their feathers shining
as their wings beat as one
drum in the distance
signaling that winter
is coming, and the cold
days will keep us inside
warmed by the fires we crave
deep in our caves painting
and dreaming away.
