You were born on a cusp.
friends on the other side
couldn't decide,
Scorpio or Libra.
You yourself,
as constant as the tides.

A tenth sign ram
was blessed to cross
your lovely path
and the ram learned:

Short curly hair
pinned back reveal
asiatic eyes.
As you pass by and by
Time and time hearts race

Chicken salad sandwich,
its moist mayonnaise
is never as delicious
without a pickle.

Grubhub.
No, Scrubhub.
Too content to leave the room.
Yummy Rummy,
food in our tummy.
forever.

Broth, cheese and wine.
Mushrooms and time.
If ever I tasted love,
it was shared with me,
in a recipe.

Sound opinion in scores.
Royal, like the Tenenbaums.
Bill Murray fantastic.
Pink Moon over and over and over.
Divide that by nine.

And now I know,
almost as well as you,
how good Goodfellas is,
even after the tenth time.

Early morning awakenings or
snooze again and again and again.
Paralyzed in a dream or
awoken with a scream,
we tried a routine:

Once parts of a team,
a memory faster than it seemed.
Ran for miles.

A boy and girl in the hall,
amongst the boys and girls
in the hall.
Digital regulars in ecstasy.
Wake next to you a daydreamer.

So, when life gets hard,
and you're feeling down,
don't be so glum,
ignore your doubts,
don't feel left out,
I'll be there for you,
when you need me to.
She says: the rain is beautiful

He thinks: I hate getting wet


She says: let's go for hot chocolate

He thinks: I just want to go home


She says: we should go hiking tomorrow

He thinks: I loathe crawling through the woods


She says: I love you

He thinks: she is beautiful

He says: yes it has its charm

She thinks: he is romantic


He says: that will warm us up

She thinks: he does everything I want


He says: anything you'd like my dear

She thinks: I'm so lucky we like the same things


He says: I love you too

She thinks: he is ugly

I woke this day
greeted by sun:
warm, brilliant, present

ray lashed out from mighty orb,
travelling far to find my eye,
yet meek -
patient until paid more heed than dreams

but though the dawn was blonde,
and radiance brushed my skin,

still it paled
