with a sleepy whisper
of love and a pocket
full of jolly ranchers
from you, i feel like
i can hold the whole
world in my palm.
you quietly remind me
there is nothing that
we cannot do or say.
that our actions
speak loudly and
resonate in our heads.
you are the quiet
familiarity of coming
home and yet, i am
still amazed by your
wondrous beauty and
ripe plum heart.
