How is it, that just a smile;
A simple expression of the face,
Lifts spirits and warms hearts?
...
Sitting at the hearth,
There you will find her
Gazing deeply into the flickering flames
Away from the others, in the corner
...
A relationship should be
like a river,
Channelled and smooth sailing,
steady and strong.
...
Inside a normal closet,
What do you expect to find?
Clothes, coats, shoes;
An ugly, forgotten shirt?
...
His hair shone with
The light of a thousand tiny flames
Soft, springing curls
...
A man stands at the water's
edge,
Breathing in the scent of salt spray,
...
In my dreams I see you, centered and unmoving,
You stand as still as a Greek statue; and as beautiful yet,
All hard lines and planes; a sloping nose; curved, full lips.
You sit tall, poised to utter perfection, but lifeless still,
...
Tomorrow I am sixteen
I will be a year older, a year wiser, they say
Supposedly, anyway...
I don't see how a feeble number defines that.
...
The soft down of your pale hair
shines, like the silk of spun gold.
The glassy jewels of your azure eyes
...
