Lumpy oatmeal makes me crazy!

Cade,

when I think of you
I think of confident love.
I think of laughter
and sharing secrets.

I think of the ocean.

Blue is the color of the sky
and the waves you rode.
Blue water kissing clouds,
laughter a song.

The wind sings in lilting tones.

When I think of you
I think of stories shared at dusk.
I think of whispers
shared like delighted children.

I pat my chair – sit by me.

Sit by me, my friend; let’s talk
of smiling into cotton candy.
Drink this day with gusto,
hold it close.

Never will it be lost.

When I think of you
I think of forever in my heart.
I think of memories,
happy – so happy..

I think of you,

Cade.


...

Ali

Alison,

"Sit by me, my friend; let’s talk
of smiling into cotton candy."

That's a beautiful thought.

I love the softness, I feel as though you are the kindest person by reading your poems. Makes this place feel rather "Homey"

Thanks Ali, I'm enjoying it so far.  Haven't had to many hits on my last two posts though.  So I posted two edgier poems tonight and spent a lot more time out on the site.  We'll see if it pays off.  Have a good weekend!

K-K,

You know your comment is one of the nicest things that anyone has ever said to me.  I am not always nice - I have a quick and sharp tongue.  I try to think before I communicate - but I don't always manage. However, to say that I help make this site feel like homey to you is just a marvelous and wonderful thing.  Thank you, my friend.

Alison

V/r,

Thank you for writing - I responded to one and will be catching up on my reading this weekend.  

Alison
