Lunchtime

 I open my lunch box.

Inside I find a delicious sandwich
Made with a special ingredient.

No meal made by my own hands
Could ever be the equal
To one made for me with love.

27 Down--?? to Go

another school year winding down

this is the 27th time
i've made it to the finish line

more exhausted than i remember being
i cannot help but wonder
do i have another race left in me?

Realization

sitting in my living room

 as the days of my vacation
 whiz past like speeding cars

 the serenity I feel on my couch
 staring at the woman I love
 transports my soul to higher realms

cherita 4/10/13

another sleepless night

as the stars dance overhead
and the wind whoops it up outside my window

snug in bed
under the covers
i read another book

cherita 09/24/11

i hugged her close to me

the sobs wracking her body
punching holes in my heart

her safe and happy world
now definitely in the past
who knows what the future will bring?
