Reposed in shadows
within a realm of colors
dusty rose gown blurs.
All the flowers she adores ~
as gold love's beamed out of doors.
Green and purple blooms
are always in her warm face ~
'til she sinks in grace.
Exquisite pinks golds and blues
fade out, as plum night ensues.

following
the freckled

tips i come
to a point
of intersection
not knowing
which direction
to trace i try
to gaze over
her hip's

surmise my

a decision as to my

in some way have

Remember the day that you brought me home to stay.
Every time you set in me, I heard you stop and say.
Chair you are so soft and I rest easy within you.
Lazily you reclined and I caressed, so gently too.
I know that you care for me as deeply as you show.
Neatly you kept me, shampooing me, head to toe.
I have no idea what ever happened to the love you had.
Now I set waiting, in the corner, did I do something bad?
Granted I have become an old chair maybe you became sad.
Carefully you replaced me with a bigger and brighter chair.
Hearing you say that he was on sale, a bargain so fair.
Again, you scrub him and me, so I know you still care.
I know my days are limited, because of the size of this room.
Recliners come and go. That is our dilemma and perilous doom.
There she lies
An adornment to the room
As the surroundings never looked
So wonderfully stunning
Here I go
Proceeding to approach
Her with intention to sneak upon
As I can be cunning
Yet, she knows
My every single move
As she hears my heavy breath
When I near
I will take her
We will reach new heights
As we have never before reached
Having her here
