And then like
Storm clouds which
Pass and sun
Breaks free your
Texts warmed me
Wrapped their arms
Around me like
A protective parent
After nights nightmares
Like fresh mountain
Air they filled
Me with hope
Oh and excitement
Like a boy
With a puppy
You found me
A new friend
No one asks
Me to write
But you did
So I do
Just as you
Asked for kisses
So I did
Aren’t these words
Just like kisses
Taunting and biting
Sweet and soft
Like the insides
Of your lips
It’s the simplest
Of things that
I take for
Granted a laugh
A joke a
Smile that lights
Me up like
A fireworks display
These things aren’t
Asked for aren’t
Needed but like
The tide they
Help to wash
Away life’s trespasses
There is this
Moment of ignition
This flare up
Of emotion this
Boiling over of
Thoughts this moment
Of abandon and
Recklessness this moment
That like a
Match strikes with
Purpose like a
Lightening strike right
Here this my
Dear boy is
The passion that
You ask for
Here in morning
I find peace
Rising like the
Sun East it
Grows with time
And covers everything
Like late night
Snow softly and
Slowly blankets landscape
And summer rain
Cools dancing children
Peace is the
Breath of God
