The long fun bantering conversations
Eye to eye
Lazer beams
Side by side
In the crowd
Walking into the evening glow
Over the glasses of umerock and namachuu
The smooth and calm sway of the train
Our reflections in the window
Talking until there was only
That last train
That last stop
Where it was only us
When it was only us
Us two
Laying down on the grass
Near the river
Side by side
Content in each other’s presence
Thinking back,
I realize that I’ve seen this scene before
From a direct, top view perspective
A year?? Perhaps a few months ago
My psyche somehow
Subconsciously
Somehow always knew
Meant to be, was this moment?You don’t need to try so hard to be
Oh, so cool
Oh, so hardcore
Until
Once I snap back a witty remark
His baby face scrunches into the cutest laugh
He just can’t hold it in
His hand, warm
Wrapping mine
Different yet similar scars
I think we both know
That this isn’t
Casual
Oh no
Much more than that
Oh, not so typical
No need to try too hard
No need to force it
Flowing naturally
As the tide goes

Now, so suddenly.
You carry a halo around you.
The ones I don't used to see.
Everything. All at once.
Visibly, electrifying the layers of my skin.
Walking in unexpectedly smiling instantly at me.
Peace signs used to be overrated.
I couldn't help but stop and stare.
You bring in all shades of bright colors.
A masterpiece. A walking heavenly art.
Those tiny noises that you create.
Also, that nose scrunches you can only make.
The playing with my hand when you can't help but think.
All your little things and all of your nonsense.
I'll gladly memorize every one of them.
So if you ask one more time about why I stayed.
I could look at you for hours.
Days, Nights, Years.
I'll keep looking at you.
Even if you're cold to the bone.

She scrunches her nose, like a person.
She folds her ears back, like only she can.
I drink coffee in hopes it will be a cozy time with her on my lap, and a book in hand.
But it’s always me, singing and dancing around her while she tries to sleep.
Then at night she would be up, howling.
As if she’s drinking my coffee!
Now I’m awake at night, like she used to be.
The sad sound of coffee being poured.
As if this simple routine will bring her back.
Something about coffee…
Makes me want another one.

Spring
My nose never
Ever
Itches
Or aches
It just sits on my face
Smelling the freshly
grown flowers
But you
You made spring
come early
You made my nose twitch
You made my eyes swell
I tried to blame it on
Allergies
But your apologies
Got to me
Your eyes
Squint when you
Smile
Your beautiful serene
Eyes
You tell me that I’m
What you crave
A sweet cuddle
In sweats
I think I love you
My nose doesn’t just
Itch now
It scrunches up
A long with my amber eyes
I smile at the
Thought of you

"It is flowing," murmurs the river.
"It is freezing," scrunches the frost.
I'm watching it thawing.

hurdled hoisted hazzle
hideous hags sparkle
rustic lips lurching
pulpy punctured pitching
damped danced drooping
mystic mists mumbling
curvy chants crunching
cautious cauldron moaning
voluptuous vibe reeling
purpled eyes heaven
dripping ecliptic epilepsy
sumptuous scrunches spanking
callous cusses cupped
spooky hags spun.

Oh McDonald's
You’re the happy death of me
Your sweet, creamy chocolate covered
Dip vanilla ice-cream cones are the best
Oh McDonald's
You’re the happy death of me
That Big Mac
With double beef patties
Double cheese
Lettuce, pickles, onions
Mingled with special recipe sauce
On a sesame seed bun
Just melts in my mouth
For a yummy, happy tummy
Oh McDonald's
You’re the happy death of me
Those Golden scrunches crisp French fries
Just jumps out at me
And say,“Eat Me”
Those Golden arches are my roads sign
For all my satisfying needs

Your face is aglow this Valentines night,
A shimmering oval in pale moonlight.
Your hair, shifting gently as in a breeze,
As you sit and gaze, completely at ease.
Your eyes are limpid pools of smokey grey,
Your nose is perky and seems to say,
I'm both aristocratic and humble today.
It scrunches up with laughter every day.
Your mouth is sensuous, lips so full,
Each time I look it gives my heart a pull.
Your kiss is like nothing I ever felt before,
I yearn for another, more and more.
Your laughter is like a tinkling brook,
You make my heart melt with just one look.
You are my partner at this Valentine's Ball,
Your fudge and chocolate, my wife, my all.
For St Valentines Day.
