Perfect Companion
Perfect Companion
Besides a dog, have your significant other as your best friend and companion,
Someone to talk to, listening, sharing your thoughts and dreams,
A constancy of trust, friendship, faith and fidelity,
This person to be there for your nightmares and bad times.
Maybe a puppet or clown to make you laugh when sad,
Just by their loving touch, you’ll feel better right away,
And to dry your tears, and to make you smile,
Even with a light conversation, all your worries are gone.
When you feel the chemistry and vibrant energy of that someone,
A sizzling sensation of floating on clouds uplifts you,
Just by that love, it’s sweet, loving, caring and tender,
A longing to feel like there’s no tomorrow exists.
All of your wishes and dreams to come true would be wonderful,
Inside of your heart, you know it, from dusk till dawn,
The sun and the moon will turn day into night and vice versa,
It’s the synergy between two people in love to last forever.
The experiences of the presence of true love is there,
Memories are made as keepsake momentoes of two combining hearts,
As one entwined and beating deeply inside, it’s profoundly real,
Even with your five senses, the scent is strong and alive, primitive.
A taste of paradise’s perfect ambrosia is electrifying,
When raveling a rope made for a couple, lovers- knot is a feeling to die for,
Just don’t let it get twisted and tangled into many hard knots to untie,
Knowledge may be power, when their understanding is wrapped in gold.
Red Dawn
Red Dawn
Red sky at dawn, another hot day,
Too weak to do anything, but to cool down,
Temperatures hot with the blazing sun,
Time to turn on the electric fans and air conditioners.
Replenish the thirst with water and ice cold drinks,
Stay inside, and wait for a break in the climate,
The hot air front might collide with the cool air one,
Possibly cause a blackout and power outage.
Listening on TV and radio weather forecasts for its endurance,
Outside the window, plants, flowers and trees have wilted,
The green grass is now burnt, and in the shade of black-brown,
Heat stroke, heat poisoning, and heat exhaustion are imminent.
First Aid might be needed for sunburned blisters on the skin,
Hypothermia could be possible, if medical need hasn’t met,
Best to stay inside, cool down, and be comfortable,
Hopefully tonight’s red sky would turn into a cool night’s sunset.
Hardy Begonia
Hardy Begonia
Alternating coiled leaves, thick, shiny, sticky,
Toothed with rough verdant color,
Ruby-red veined stems and leaves with blooming florets,
Elongated green stem clusters grow in large clumps.
Fresh baby pink flowers’ arrival in garden,
Wakes up in late summer solstice and fall equinox.
Sending messages through its fanciful nature and presence,
That although a beauty, it means to beware of its deformity.
