Insomnia

 Feel the air within

Filling the lungs, bringing oxygen to the brain. 

Feel the warmth of the bed, the comfort. 

Don't think. 

Silence. 

Never think. 

Let go into the realm of dreams.

 As long as I'm alive, you have my broken hands to fix you dinner.

Thank you for all your love and kindness. You can count on my unending devotion. 

If I had the words, I 'd say them to express how much I love you. But all I have is my weired, stupid self, this worn out body to take care of you.

And I' ll do my best to keep you. 

I love seeing you smile. 

All we have is this precious moment, before we return to the stars one day.

The tree

 The tree has been struck by lightning.

Its scars are there to be seen. Yet, the tree is no less tall. No less beautiful.

The tree is alive and springing with spring. 

Birds nest in its branches, its leaves sing along with the wind.

The tree was once struck by lightning... One day. But it is living every day.

 There's magic in your arms

They make me feel safe just by being there

You're my favorite place and time 

Your hair, my favorite blanket, I don't care

If there's no hot tub in our bedroom 

If there's no gnocchi for dinner

All I care about is wrapped around me

Breathing in my ear.
