A Sandbox of Sadness

hand to hair twirling
into the calmest air
finding you stealing
looks at me
with my knees
deep into the sandbox

songs song deeply
out of key while
you yawn and smile
pleasingly at our photograph
of kissing upon a dream

rainbows wrapped around
a candycane
with the deepest hues
that sorrow could paint
into this heart
