When orange light poured from the east, upon revival, dewy green lawns.
With a cup of aromal coffee, I'd watch yellow sunrise creep...

Two souls reconciling with loving silence.
Holding hands at every chance,
Relaxing together was our luxury and romance.
We can't really be through,
For I’m still missing you.
A sly glance...

My other fami!y
I am a thinker of sorts;
One that is rather selective.
I tend to bore unusually easily;
Perhaps I am mildly restless.

But even blatant testy rules can be
Presented with greater simplicity.
