There is tension in the air
It stifles the holiday cheer
The lights are bright
But the chants are louder
“We can’t breathe!”
Hey baby!
Let me walk you across the street
I’ll hold your hand
…
Just say ‘No!’
Don’t just walk away from me
a great day
a good day
just another day
even a bad day
it’s all life unfolding
embrace each day
with courage and warmth
Sizzling,
Steamy, and
Unrelenting.
I surrender.
more than just aches
more than just physical
more than just temporary
intangible yet unmistakable
agony and brokenness linger
your sting, too well I know
relief, I anticipate
Buried under multiple layers of covers
Adorned in my thickest snuggly socks
Yet the cold I feel remains untamed
It emanates from my feet, and creeps
To every inch of my body, and seemingly
Manages to penetrate my core.
I can almost feel my heart ice over.
Cold without you
Cold without your feet rubbing mine
Cold without the heart-melting love I feel when your gentle hands glide sensually over the contours of my bare frame
Cold without the passion that abounds when we embrace
Cold without you tonight
Hey pumpkin.
You’re always close
to my heart, even if
you’re far away.
You’re like the sunrise,
I really prefer you to be
there when I wake up.
Every time you hold me,
I feel so warm and safe,
and super special. I melt
into a puddle of joy.
I just want to hug you forever.
Sweet dreams, my love!
