So am I

while the tv was on,
and you laughed
saying it watches you.....
and here we are once more
looking at the deer
out the bedroom window

You're a Shining Light

...Hot like chocolate lave cake right out of the oven

Beautiful like the mesmerising sight of the sunset meeting the sunrise
 
Tender like a bird building a nest to protect her baby eggs against ba...

Sase

...Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope

Or, peering out from behind mighty obsidian anvils,
She delights and surprises in immensity, an...
