When I wake up, you'll be there
Warm mocha eyes, café au lait
On cold days. On warm: parfait
On rippling breeze of wind, air claire
                               In gliding streams of sundust words
                               I see inside the one you are
                               The one so near, so very far
                               Smithereens of you, carried by birds
      Perfection, it does not exist
      You are, I am, nous sommes
      Each other's imperfection balm:
      Completing what the other's misses
                       Each time I sleep, you're with me
                       I revel in your familiar wheeze
                       I add mine too, one wheezing breeze
                       Lovely and (im)parfait, across the sea

Hi Darren. "In gliding streams of sundust words" OKAY have you been reading Chris Green poems? : P (And those desserts look unspeakably good.) +1 for use of "smithereens" as it's getting to be an "old-time" word.

The desserts? That's what mocha parfait looks like. Parfait has a double meaning in my poem, it means "perfect" but in the picture it's icecream :)

Hahaha Doug, as a matter of fact, YES! Are you psychic? ;) Oh, and if you could scan my poems, you'd see I use words like "smithereens" and "myriad" faaaar too often :D
