More Rain Please
The clouds refuse
to wring themselves out
and raindrops
do not fall
and all around
the land turns brown
as the sun
scorches us all
and all I want
is a rainy day
or two or three
or four
to get me through
the months ahead
when that’s all well have
and more
It’s the Halo
Moments when
we’re at our best
are so few and
far between
that we forget
within the seat of
each breast
lies a soul
shiny and clean
housed within
a temple of flesh
we abuse
and take for granted
while pretending it’s unseen
Intimate Moments
Dive in
delve deep
and find my soul
with fingertips
to skim over
the surface
and make it sing
your name
like angels sing
to the rising sun
for it’s with you
that I belong
and my soul
feels alive
with love
The Sweetest Things
Lazy moments
on a comfortable bed
as big as a playground
Long hours
creating worlds
and stories
of love entertwined
Afternoon naps
and alone time
with Luna
Dappled light
thru northern windows
and the rhythmic purrs
of Luna’s love
and you… us…
you
I miss them all so much.
Longing For…
I want time
to feel small
and cherished
with your hand
pressed
over my soul
and your whisper
in my ear
telling me
how loved
I am
and how much
I mean to you
I love you
Responsibility
Always ready
and always there
always dependable
and always near
ready to go
at the drop of a hat
when the phone rings
already packed
always on call
for when need does arise
ready and waiting
for when we have to fly
This is my go-bag. I actually have two of these. An old and worn one in gray that is packed for day hikes, and this one which is my emergency bag that is kept packed for running out to the hospital or other types of emergencies.
