in the night, while the snow fell silently,
i dreamt of flying rose petals,
pink and velvety,
aromatic and delicate–
catching them upon my tongue,
they melted softly like
cotton candy communion

in the night, while the snow fell silently,
i dreamt of flying rose petals,
pink and velvety,
aromatic and delicate–
catching them upon my tongue,
they melted softly like
cotton candy communion

shadows follow us
with the best of intentions

through the thick snow, i recognized you

the smell of grass
cotton candy sunsets
warm breezes from an open window
lemonade on the balcony

each day, she faded a little more

the fog convinced our thoughts to remain still

rain falls, and washes everything clean

labyrinth of windblown evergreen glades
vines with long velvet thorns
passageways into an imagined past
mermaids reflected in sapphire slabs
quicksands of euphoric golden glitter

“I saw two eagles in the marsh today”
“It’ll be a wonderful mix of clouds and sun”
“And Mrs. Miller said to me, did you ever think that our girls were switched at birth?”
“That’s exactly like mine, in fact her very name is Sweet Tea”
“Sometimes, I just can’t catch the right words”
