Racing Home

My life's been a sprint, short and sweet,
oft times I have wondered, why compete.

Anniversary

Timeless,
the memories stored away
like the records we used to play
that look when you glanced my way
the love on our wedding day

Beauty,
of a stolen kiss
birthdays that you never miss
forgiving, even though you're pissed
perfume sweetly...

Angst

Nothing left to learn

Don't rock back in my kitchen chair
Lest you overturn

Sitting in the last restroom stall
Thoughts...
