My Gramma is having tea
With My Nana
Up in Heaven.
My Pop-Pop is having too many cookies. My Gramma
Is slapping his hand away from the sweets.
Tea is over, and she is hiding the rest
In a vacant bedroom.
The trio are overdue for
Angel Work;
Helping a car
Flip just the right way, slowly, so that no one gets injured
In a close-flip-crash.
Gramma & Pop-Pop’s House looks the same;
Their home sweet home has been re-created
Of clouds and, even, the cloud-created
Antiques that, in reality, went to family members;
This cloud-creation is an exact replica of what used to be.
The trio is comfortable in their cloud-home.
My Nana is visiting,
So, she gets “her [wallpapered] room”
From 1993.
What Dreams May Come
Comes to mind.
What they have created is family; hope;
A re-creation from life
In the Afterlife.
All on Cloud 9.

Standing on cloud 9 because you've joined your hand in mine.
And as the sun steps down to let the moon come out to play, we get ready to dance the night away.
Here in your arms, you make me feel safe and warm.
Here in your arms, I'm forever yours. Faithfully.

i’m like dynamite-
need a cheerleader,
let me throw you down
while i look at her-
i’m like, “oh, my god,
“i think i need a girlfriend.”

have you ever paid attention to the sky?
i sure have
every car ride
every walk outside
everytime im sad
i look to the clouds above.
the clouds have feelings
they, just like us, get sad
angry,
and frustrated at times
but they are kind to us down below
they reward us with their beauty
they are similar to us with one more thing
they too, like most of us, have a best friend
i bet they share secrets
and stories
right as they're going to bed behind the city skyline
together they make the perfect team to bring smiles all around
when the colors of the sun
and the grace of the clouds
bleed together
it puts our hearts at ease
next time,
just look up.

it'll blow your mind; it'll make you do things, you normally wouldn't. This thing called Love has a hold over you!
After you fall, whose gonna catch you? To fall in Love is chance; you down to gamble? Love has you blind.. But, eye promise; when you fall.. Eye'll be there to catch you.

Its something I realize everyday
And each time I think about it, there's so much to say
You always make me smile
I've got xoxo with your name on papers all in a pile
Everything I say to you I really do mean
You make me the happiest human being
Your someone whom I cannot get out of my mind
So please say you'll forever be mine
No one can ever love you like I do
And I hope the feeling is mutual too
Hold my hand and don't break my heart
I knew you were for me right from the start
My heart is singing a love song
Its telling a story of us
I may be right or wrong
But our love is built on faith and trust
I gave you all of me
And you gave me all of you
Whatever happens let it be
And believe in us like I do
And out of the blue
I think about how much I love you
