The first day after Christmas...



Lights come down.
Empty boxes and learners manuals scatter about
Our new clothed feet.
Over joyed from the Holiday’s giving’s.
But loneliness creeps in with the end of the
Excitement.
Empty tea cups.
Do I still want these presents?
I would give them all back
To go back home again.
For there, and only there are the Lights
Always up.

Every blind bird stumbles on a worm every now and again...



Did I ever tell you
You are my favorite
Smell
Apricot scrubbed cheeks
White Listerine smile
Mesmerizing bursts of steam


Did I ever tell you
You are my favorite
Taste
Spearmint gum
Lips lathered with Burt’s bees
The hot sauce to all my meals


Did I ever tell you
You are my favorite
Sound
Coldplay loudly in the shower
Joyful addicting bursts of laughter
Whispered lullaby’s stroking me to sleep

Did I ever tell you
You are my favorite
Memory
Clicking keys creating stories
Hooded face in pines hall
Spinning slowly in the night’s last birthday dance
