My Script, My Love

You stay with me when times are tough
Together we will stand
When I approach the battlefield
We walk hand in hand

I know you from the inside out
Through and through and through
Some nights we sit alone together
I'm mesmerized by you

And yet I know a time will come
When I'll know you all the way
But you will always be with me
In my heart forever you will stay

The Fire Escape

I see you from my window
You climb too high to reach
But I know if I ever need you
The gap I'll have to breech

For now inside you're cool enough
I don't need to run away
But maybe I'll use you as an excuse
To light a fire someday

Ode to a Waterbottle

Sonnet Sundays: 2nd Edition.  (yes, I realize these aren't formally sonnet form, but the alliteration could not be overlooked.).  Every Sunday, I am going to write love poetry to everyday objects that get casually overlooked by the average human, but not me.  I'll celebrate these super objects through ballads, sonnets, haiku's and any other poetry form I can fathom.

We fill each other
With cool clean thoughts
Pure love
Passing through each other

I use you
Yet you're always there
I lose you
Leave you
Find you
Returning

Always coming around
Staying by my side
I never deserved you
Where have you gone to hide?

I wrote a love poem for my bed

I can't believe how well everything went this weekend.  Unfortunately for me, now I have to greet the day and start getting stuff done.  I've got a ton of homework and a test on Wednesday, and I don't know how on earth I pried myself out of bed this morning.  I got 12 hours of sleep, and I still feel like I could use a few more, but I've got to get moving.  Luckily I saved the leftover coffee that the cast did't drink last night so I've got caffeine to boost me into today.  I've got to be careful though, because I need to get back on a normal sleep schedule, I'm going to try to be in bed by 10:30 or 11:00, so I can get up for class Monday.  Tomorrow.  I also wrote a love poem for my bed.  I figured it deserved some recognition for my absence over the past few days, and I wanted to make sure it felt appreciated.

I can’t bear to leave you today
Not after the beauty of last night
We embraced
Held each other
Loved each other
Smiled.
But now I’ve got to say goodbye
But only for a while
I hate to leave you here alone
After such a wonderful night
But I’ve got to keep moving
I’ll see you again tonight
