"corky" poems
Buy me chrysanthemums
Not lavandula or geraniums
Or phalangium with their low hanging bulbs
Why don’t you know I love chrysanthemums!
Chrysanthemums, Dahlia…Hera…Willow?
Lillian! Lillian,
How could I take chrysanthemums from Lillian?
You should know. I shouldn’t have to say anything! You should know.
Buy me Viognier
Not Muscat or Chardonnay
Or Furmint with its corky taste
Why don’t you know I love Viognier!
Viognier, Vionnier…Vienne…Vienna?
Dalmatia! Dalmatia,
How could I take Viognier from Dalmatia?
You should know. I shouldn’t have to say anything! You should know.
Dalmatia, near Sibenik
From where I dine on scallops,
Or do you not know that I love scallops?
If not then you should know that I love fickle, false and fair
It’s my nature and you are my nurture
If you did not know then know this, love’s a hapless farce

I sit outside in the cold, feeling the air wake up my skin.
I see three deer and think of Corky. I hope to see her again,
Although I am in nature, away from the city’s cars,
I can still hear one from afar.
I also hear several bird calls. One says “wee weee!”
While another answers with “cheep cheep” and another “tweet!”
I pray I will be spiritually ready to hear the messages,
Hmmm, I hope at breakfast there’ll be sausages.

Tiny feet march to a little heart,
for the small girl in his arms.
She breathes in to find him in her senses,
consuming her heart with corky words.
Oftentimes in her mind,
locked away and the key swallowed,
he's there
always with forever,
loving her.

It's that corky laugh that comes out
when you just open you mouth.
Let it out
It's those words that you didn't think about.
it's that hug that you didn't expect
it's that rush that you didn't expect.
it's that day your eyes looked a little wider
and your skin looked a little brighter.
your high was a litter higher
and the world made no sense.
it's those moments when your mind brightened your end.
when you believed a little more.
when you've worked so hard to get there
but now it doesn't feel so sour.
Those tiny little things
Are worth living for .

Love her. With every once in your being and every elk in your body.
Make sure she knows that you love her and cares because she constantly needs reassurance.
She gets ferociously jealous, It’ll drive you crazy but don’t get angry it means you loves you.
She’s a queen not a princess, Treat her like one. Do the little things they’ll go along way.
bring her flowers especially sunflowers, those are her favorite.
Or do some corky thing like paint red roses yellow, That’s her favorite color.
Some nights she can’t sleep alone, hold her tight, Don’t let her go.
Sometimes she’ll have a huge smile on her face and not know what to say but just know she’ll love it.
Buy her candies and put on movies, Peter Pan especially.
Order pizza and save it for the morning she loves left over pizza.
She has a corky sense of humor that you’ll never find anywhere else, make her laugh the kind where stomach will hurt from laughing to hard.
Always look in those china blue eyes and play with her long blonde hair.
Always tell her how beautiful she is 1000 times a day even if she might not believe you.
If she gets nervous or anxious make sure she knows everything will be ok.
Don’t let the AC run her nose gets irritated. Take random pictures with her even if you hate it because she will love it ,I wish I did.
She loves hand written letters with wax stamps on the back, she likes old fashioned things.
She’ll love you with a depth deeper then any ocean. Love her the same
