Exhaustion greets me,
At the gate that is our home,
You meet me grinning,
Arms ready for a long hug,
The best welcome home ever.
Exhaustion greets me,
At the gate that is our home,
You meet me grinning,
Arms ready for a long hug,
The best welcome home ever.
A golden greeting
Giving way to gray-blue
Patched white here and there
Only illuminated
When kissed goodnight, not goodbye
With your chocolate eyes
And your velvet good morning
My breath was caught so
Immediate and thorough
That surprise was my reply
Oh San Francisco!
I fell in and out of love
With you by my side.
My silent constant sidekick,
In this thing I call My Life!
I have loved the thing
You so passionately hate
With every fiber
Of my being, I will stand
For a world where we can love.
She’s skinny dipping,
Unashamed. Of her pale skin,
Luna jumps right in!
Splashing through the Milky Way,
“Floating stars come out and play?”
This forest knows us,
And the games we play below.
Empty oak branches,
No longer obscure the view.
Our laughter, pauses mid-sigh.
White wondrous world,
Above the horizon line,
Tell us a tall tale,
Of an ocean so somber,
It brings you to silver tears.
Throughout our lifetime,
We wear emotional masks,
Pride, Joy, awe, surprise –
But at the end of your day,
I hope your default is love.
Beyond my doorstep,
A jealous Pacific moans,
Clawing at the shore,
Where winding concrete ribbons,
Flirt with salt-kissed cypress trees.
