It’s rather abysmal, time sifting through
Like sands, fighting against the tide
We tread in shallow waters, afraid of the riptides
Still, we are pulled out, farther into the waves
Til we disappear, growing ever fainter
Like the setting sun, fading into the horizon

As daylight grows shorter
And night becomes cold
Flowers will wither away
Growing old
Rain will suddenly turn into snow
Hardening ground
Til there’s no room to grow
Perhaps a few sprinkles
From the watering can
Will perk up the flora
With love, from our hands

When I troll through the kitchen
Looking for something sweet
Opening cabinet doors
In search of a treat
I find myself in a tizzy
I need a quick fix
Then what do I spy?
Oh, it’s pancake mix!
Now most of you are saying
This surely cannot replete
But mix it with applesauce
Then dessert is complete!
Add a bit of powdered sugar
And some whipped cream, for sure
Voile! Homemade applesauce pie
Holds the sweetest allure

Call upon my heart, in a whispering sigh
Fold me in your arms, as time rushes by
Tell me tales of tomorrow, let my heart soar
In hushed, quiet moments, tis what I live for
Let us be one, with a gentle caress
The touch of two hearts, easily express
The rhythm of love, endlessly sublime
Our bodies in sync, mere poetry in rhyme
