all flowers, lusciously mezmerizing
with peaceful tenderness, underlying
my lover's caresses endearingly.

I pleaded innocence
No sign of cat, it's still outside
Damn! There goes my defence!

 pimples
A sign of the fear present in 
 people

A quarter “C” has past
Since you opened your eyes to see
The cooties and spiders
That will haunt you throughout your eternity.
 
Then there was your smile,
A smile like no other,
A smile that continues to give great joy,
To both me and your mother....
