Forever only lasts
as long as 
forever ever lasts
which is usually 
shorter than expected 
here’s the thing 
we all have 
many more forevers
in us than 
we ever know 
so get on
with finding them 
by living your 
most beautiful life 

Nothing better 
babe believe 
than this 
the very
first sips
and then 
kissy lips
of morning 
the smiles 
and secrets 
and seconds
following firsts
morning this 
does make 
my day

I believe 
that people 
become what 
they’re meant 
and not
by chance 
or choice 
or charge 
we are
just flowers
all having 
been planted 
long ago 
before we 
ever knew 

Eyes behind lids
even barely seen 
lights behind blinds
many little dots
hand behind head 
combing through hair 
breeze behind curtains 
barely even breathe
hand atop heart
feel it pacing
cars in dark 
hear them racing 
lips on mine 
taste their morning 
sun just rising 
on the horizon 

I love being 
in one room
and imagining another 
like each little 
place is somehow 
somewhere else Paris
Bali or London 
kitchen definitely London 
with kettle tea
and coffee living 
room is Paris
cozy and continental 
and the bathroom 
is my Bali
with rain showers 
and orchids adorned 
I love living 
in this world 
of my own 
calling it home
