Age but not Aged

Every year the lines in her face deepen 

Her lips turn slightly thinner

And her hands somehow grow softer

Yet her laugh remains the same

Her smile still as wide

The sparkle in her eyes still as bright 

As the day I first met her

17 years ago

  • Well Loved

    I find it difficult to get rid of shirts that I wore when I was thirteen.

    Since I know how much I used to love them.

    I sense she would feel betrayed if she saw it 

  • Pluvia

    Time seems to move slower when it rains 

    Cars hesitate before they turn 

    Bird wings lag as raindrops batter their feathers 

    The world seems small and heavy 

  • My First Loves

    My first car has absorbed the beauty of your soul

    The wholeness of your heart

    Your voice rushes through the air vents and echoes through the quiet space

    It blows the flyaways of my hair
