My room slowly 
lightens like mood
receiving better news 
trickling at first 
and then sprinkle 
and finally deluge 
as sun breaks 
like a child 
holding back laughter 
all at once 
an engine starting 
at full throttle 

There is 
you know 
a point 
a pinnacle 
and place 
tippy top
crows nest
from where 
I see
my enough 
everything I
need and 
most of 
what it
is that 
I want 
my happiness 
and peace 
prosperity harmony 
and abundance 
two lights 
same energy 
inside out

If you were
a flower you’d 
be a bouquet 
for only one 
of you I
could not display 

I couldn’t decide 
diamond or moonstone 
one rules day
the other night 
one giggles while 
the other moans
one brags constantly 
catching about everything 
and the other 
casually corner sits
I decided moonstone 
for your shyness 
and its glow 

This quiet
I see
nothing stirs
throaty growls 
of heat
and ice
off away 
just peace
no whimper 
no gasp 
this night 
that bleeds
