Forevermore

You blow in the wind -

an invisible wisp -

I see you

I feel you

I taste you

skittering ahead.

Reaching for you

my fingers

plunge through

ethereal film.

My illusions

are not

just castles

in the air,

for you

will always be

cradled

within my heart.

My World

Opening his eyes for the first time, as I held him, he briefly looked around. Like a master surveying his terrain, I saw him give a nod.

Aged three minutes and forty-nine seconds, we both knew he would handle this world and make it his own; then he slept.

I Never Got To Meet You

The two blue lines on the preganancy test had me over the moon to meet you.

I prepared your room, every nook and cranny, for the arrival of our heavenly gift.

My sorrow is an endless ocean that I will drown in for losing you, missing someone I never met.

Like Heroes of Old

He stands, resolute, as though at the head of an army, and before the face of a dragon. Still as a stone, nothing can shake him. Grecian curls never blind his truth-seeking eyes, which contain every storm he’s ever weathered. Like Adam, his finger touches the Lord.

Nana

Oil stained, buttoned, except for the top two, the rumpled pink housecoat fit like an old glove in love with bones while she cooked up her signature again, just for me; potato pancakes.

"Ju wan som' Pepsi Cola wit dhat?"

And I didn't have to answer; her cup runneth over.

My Sun

The sun sheds warmth and light, kindles fires, dispels darkest night;

feeds the soul, kisses the skin, draws us out, pulls us in.

Where it burns too intensely, life withers and dies; too little presence grays the skies.

Thus is life with him to me: utter bliss and great agony.

I hear his laugh, and turn to see a grin spreading on his face like butter melting on toast.

His arms, grasp me, pulling me closer. Feeling safer than I’ve ever felt, tucked away like a tiny kangaroo in its mothers pocket, so warm and soft, so full of love.

Tiny Seed

A tiny little seed, who grew inside my greenhouse.

I watched you everyday; how quickly you did sprout.

Shattering the glass, growing taller than my roof; independently you stand, your success- my proof.

Imaginary Friend

In darkness, imagine, a champion that never surrenders, a hero that exists in fantasy.

He's beautiful and brave and strong, in every way you've ever wanted a person to be.

The realization of growing up ruins the magic of your childhood daydreams.

An ideal woman.

Her movement was impeccable and the body itself carved in such a way that people would think Monet came back to life and draw the most perfect human depicted by the eye. 

She, the sun rising after a dreadful rainy weather that lasted for one million years.

This is her.
