Silly Really

I sit on this chair

Wanting to feel the air

The sun in my eye

To warm before I die

I want to run again

With ink from pen

I will swim in this verse

As age is a painful curse

I want to have no pain

See clearly without the strain

To have bones that don’t Crack

Or a morning without a stiff back

I see the years come too fast

I know it cannot last

My smile lingers still

I will tip on that final bill

And kiss the ones I have loved

And wave as I float above

For I know what is fleeting

No matter how I am cheating

And so I pass the days

The blue sky and the grey

Happy with the life I led

Satisfied even when dead.

Us.

And in this sky of blue

I see a life of me and you

I see the happy you bring

That makes my heart sing

And in that sky of blue

Everyday brings love so new

I see us hand in hand when old

I see us smiling as life unfolds

That story, written in a sky

Leaves me breathless in a sigh.

I love you.

Summer Days

Summer days,

of warm winds,

blue skies,

the smell of leaves,

and wild flowers,

waves against the shore,

the laughter all around,

those days of nothing,

those days of sweet rest,

my hand in yours,

your lips on my cheek,

your eyes on mine,

make everyday,

Summer days.
