Real

The words between us

are never spoken aloud

yet somehow you know

how you make me proud.

Just one single look,

even from across the room,

fills my heart with joy

that I will take to my tomb.

Even though it’s never been said

you must know how I feel

because something as strong as this

makes you believe that love is real.

Greeting Cards for Across the Pond

What with the approaching holiday and the recent events overseas, I thought it fitting to create some cards we could send to our former parent across the pond.

It looks as though you finally understand. Happy Independence Day!
We’re sorry! Next time we throw your tea in the harbor, we will make sure to heat it first.
The British are coming! Wait, you’re leaving…
After all these years… We’re still glad we left you.
You will always be like our mother (land) We hope we don’t end up like you, but we love you anyway.

Me

That phone doesn’t purr

and that television,

well it has no fur.

That book may be good

but I am better

so you should

put that down

and play with me;

I wear the crown

so don’t make a peep

since now you can

watch me sleep.

Two Truths and a Lie

The night the lights flickered

I knew right then and there

my love for you was eternal

I cross my heart and swear.

Then, a ghost appeared

that only I could see

from out the darkness

we shared half-heartedly.

In that moment we would stay

for what seemed eternity

and I wouldn’t leave your side

but for eternal sleep.

Obsolete

I think that your skin

being so close to mine

is the best sensation

that is quite divine.

The electricity is charged

and the energy is high;

it courses through my veins

so I think I could die.

Just the thought of you now

makes my heart beat

when for so long before

it was merely obsolete.

Pebble

It wasn’t until I got home

that I found the pebble in my shoe

mainly because before that

all my thoughts had been of you.

With no more miles to go

I finally took a break

and realized that pebble

had been more than I could take.

Bruised and bloodied,

I thought this must be a sign

that all my thoughts of you

can never be benign.
