As soon as I felt it, in-between my hands That velvet was unmistakable The softest fabric in all of the land The one who showed me that the glass is half full

For me it’s always caught my eye A wonderous mountain cutting into the sky Nirvana on earth. Mount Kailash Never been climbed. But it’s on my bucket list

A winter ballerina, a sight for sore eyes She ice skated to me, a blessing in disguise The world went silent. All sounds fading A fairytale princess, an angel ice skating

I saw the books fall from her hands As the wind took the papers in breeze She drew the attention of every single man It’s something she could do with ease

I was rhe first one to her side And then with heaven, I locked eyes My heart began to pound, nearly numbing my side As I stood there in awe, gazing at the rest of my life

I strain to open my eyes As my paws touch a road of gold Did I lose one of my 9 lives? Or am I just hear to grow old?

Do it. Take the shot. I knew it was over. I saw the red dot. Have I lived a good life? I think not. So go ahead. Shoot. Let me rot.

The wind whistled through the grass As the moon cast light over the field The air was chill, autumn is in the past Winter is here, as months roll by like a wheel

It was an eerier night here in the deep Carolinas But then old folks here did not need a reminder It was a full moon you see, where vampires come out to play To strike fear in the Victorian townsfolk, ruining their night and their day

Crystals floated around her and her skin sparkled in the night Luminous, a beating beacon of energy, shining so bright I could see the diamond teers, covering all of her cheeks As I stood there, in disbelief, of her absolutely mindboggling and inexplicable mystique

How could something so small Take up so much space in my heart My 5’7” wife, tho whom I love with all And have no idea where to start My love for her grows deeper, each and every day Expanding horizontally, vertically, in all types of ways

I spotted the two hitchhikers on the side of the road And decided to do a good deed I put on my blinker as my car slowed As I pulled over and reduced my speed I said hop in, the two gentleman, and they flashed a white smile They got in the car and began to laugh and said “we’re going to be with you for a while”
