(2015)
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface
If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile
How do you describe A man so dramatic? You can recognize him From afar with his hat Always the gentleman
I enjoy his company Riding shotgun Conversation No one to overhear Our inside jokes
Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly
Pragmatic me Doesn’t like this girl You can’t depend on her Too complex to understand She cries at the worst times
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
If I could draw a tree In all it’s complexity Would you be impressed? If I could draw a human face It would be but a trace
Hillary’s beautiful Rose Bumpy’s favorite princess My mini-me, my little lion Cute button nose Framed by red hair
My body is perfect —ly spotted The white spots I tell myself Are my Bambi spots
Itchy It has to come off Nerves Makes me pick His look
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
The more you treat me like a nag The more I become one I’m sorry if I micromanage Your clean clothes Your hot meals
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
