Little Poems to Brighten your Day
Colors
You are coloured by your experiences,
Golden, for all the sticker stars you've collected.
Red, for the times you fell in love.
Pink, for the bubbly feeling in your chest
when you felt his heartbeat beat with yours.
Pumping champagne
through your veins.
White, for the innocence you still have
For your purity, thicker than milk.
still a believer in love.
Green for the grass
you ran through as child with your dad,
for every stroll through Central Park
with your little dog.
Black
for the memories you wish you could forget
for the times
you cried under the sheets
and there were no stars.
silver
for the moments
your sadness crystallized
into hope
into something so much more
so much more than you could ever know
through the dull grey,
there is a silver lining
there are sparking surprises
just around
that bend
there are sparking surprises
just around
that bend
grab it
for you are
mighty
colorful
a spectrum
a rainbow
of brightness
exploding like
starbursts throughout this
big, scary,
beautiful
sky of
sky of
life.
The Pajama Set
We have matching pajamas.
That's the kind of siblings we are.
Rushing downstairs to the Christmas Tree.
You laugh at me
Because I have matching pajamas.
But I don't mind
because I know you love it
secretly.
It'll be our little secret.
I like my pajamas.
They're different, like me.
They are cozy,
comfortable,
and I am not afraid of who I am
in them.
I am mom.
I am auntie Jen.
I am love.
I am loved.
I am a lover.
I sleep better with them on
I sleep happy.
I sleep on this moon
with this purple
pajama set.
Little Lights
Little lights flicker.
Many have died
in the chambers of our hearts.
The rooms in our hearts,
some are dim,
some are still glowing.
Some are wavered.
Quivering
throughout the night.
Maybe one day
You'll set fire
to this candle
in my heart
and I'll light up again.
But for now,
All I have,
All that I am
are these little lights.
And that is OK.
Erupted
I love you.
I love you.
Like molten lava
in a lava lamp
except
except
you engulfed me
once it meets the cold air,
once we've seen the bad times,
my love for you
hardened.
it took its shape
it took its shape
Steady
sturdy
unmoving
a rock.
true-
I love you.
I love you.
lava
you
I love you.
- Teeny tiny, and terrified.
