Joy

When I see you smile I feel my heart leap right out of my throat.

I am left watching it flying about the heavens. Elated by the sight of your joy.

My body does not even yearn for it back. It takes its own delight in knowing such a love for someone other than myself.

Chills and goosebumps, waves of hot ripened passion, peace - having found the well within me deep and everlasting.

Your joy, something to take pause at.

Your joy, a reason all its own to rejoice.

Your joy, fills the andonded cavity while my heart dances with the angels also come to celebrate the existance of you and your joy.

don't eat the apple

Plop, plunk, drip

Bright vibrant red

Soaking, spilling, clumping

Burnt brown rusted

Each month you now come

Though it took a while

Consistency was spotty at best

For years I would only see you

Once or twice and at quick glance

Now overstay your welcome

Ruining the romance

I've gotten to know you too well

Your temper a raging hell

Twisting my gut to tendril

Leaving me noxious and spinning

On the bathroom floor I wait

For the next bout to evacuate

In and out the shower, huddled down

Until that singular moment of grace

Where I have just enough strength

To stand up and make it to the couch

A place to wait it out

For the Pink Stork to save the day

Wrapped in a warmed blanket

And bundled up without the baby
