Poem: Cotton Candy

Poem: Cotton Candy

I’ll dream of you

In navy blue

Like you wore on that late spring night

When the festival light

Of fireworks bright

Was reflected back by your wide eyes.

I’ll sing to you of the world as I knew it

Amid the neon boom

That pounded in my ears.

It was the same night that I knew I loved you,

Cotton candy caught in my curls

Like the woven thread

Of my fingers intertwined with yours,

When I stood close enough to you

That I thought I could hear

The navy blue neon boom

Of your heartbeat matching mine.

Poem: Brown-Haired Boys

She told me she was bored

Of brown-haired boys

Because of old and tired lines

And dates that felt like wasted time.

She told me she was tired

Of brown-haired boys and flirty smiles

Because her first love left his mark

When he left her in the dark.

She told me she had more than enough

Of brown-haired boys for the next few months

Or more;

She had closed and locked that door.

Poem: Time

I felt the passage of time

More strongly than ever

When I had peace and quiet

Enough to watch it

Drift through my fingers,

Enough for me to feel fine

About how fleeting it is

To be alive, how fleeting

It is to have time, to live

To let go of it, to live and

To be alive.

Poem: If You Take My Hand Tonight

If you take my hand tonight,

I’ll show you a love as bright

As the moon reflected in your eyes;

A love as true

As a clear afternoon sky is blue;

A love as real for me

As I hope it is for you.

Poem: Bouquet

I’ll sow the seeds of love

And treat them tenderly

In hopes that flowers

Of affection will bloom

In your heart someday,

And that you’ll feel inclined

To gather them into a bouquet

That makes you think of me.
