"rori" poems
Rori counted all the boxes lying just down below the stairs
She counted with her young, thin fingers, that seemingly could break from the slightest weight
But as you could tell from all the oranges sitting safe inside those boxes
of projected ghostly leaves and branches
They weren't going anywhere
And Rori wiped some sweat from her forehead
Her crucifix danced with her movements
She reached into a sea of bottled water and helped herself to some
The queen upon a throne of wheat bread and powdered milk
Crackers and the usual canned goods
As a line of people formed before her, there was no more time to ****
Just near the truckload of backpacks of all colors of the rainbow
Rori knew, without a doubt, that this was gonna be the year
She'd go out searching in the mountains, through every crevice for the light snow that fell upon this city
In December of 2007
she was 8 years old that day
But Rori knew, without a doubt, that this was gonna be the year
That it would be back to stay

The most beautiful thing I've ever laid my eyes apon
So warm
So sweet
Like your favorite peice of candy
She's so smart
Brilliant
Her heart
So pure and perfect
Skin so soft
Porcelain
So fragile
And God a set of lungs on her
I never knew I could love anything more than I love her
I Rock her
Until her eyes flutter shut
I start to hear her snore
And I wish I could stay still
Silent like this forever
Because this moment is magical
and at the same time I want to wake her
Just so I can make her smile or giggle again
I love her more than my heart can bare
I'm amazed that my body created such perfection
That this happiness was inside me
I promised her I'd never leave
Promise that id be the one to dry her tears
that id always put her first
Give her what's best
Try my hardest to be the woman
The mother that she needs
I'll never betray my baby
Never break her heart
I'm here for you baby girl
Rori
All the way to the end
You are my heart
