Your kindness as sweet as cake
Your heart as pure as gold
Your love for us is like diamonds
Your books as old as history
You mold the world with knowledge
But you are the most important person of all
You are a teacher.

I drank her silence like liqour

And it destroyed me the same

I spun like clocks

And she swirled like stars

 

The wind smelled of her hair

The earth dressed with the

Scent of her winter skin

 

I began to find her in everything-

The rain

The trees

The stars

The moon

It all shrieked her name

 

She had lips like salvation

And grace like eyes

 

This made the stars grow jealous

Of the way she danced.

 



 

 

 

 

We are an unfinished masterpiece

an unsung song

piano keys that have not been touchedby fingertips

food that has not been eaten

clothes that have not been worn

sheets that have not been slept in

books that have not been read

we are all this waiting to be

all it could be.
