Sharaab
Never had a drop touched my lips
until I met her
Now my head swirls
my heart sways
again and again
I run to her
to refill my cup
Dessert
I’d have you in the morning
like little pancakes with sweet syrup
cinnamon toast with powdered sugar
Or maybe a bit after lunch
like citrus tarts with fresh lemon
melt-away chocolate chip cookies
Or even after dinner
Ice cream
you scream
Teddy Bear
let me be your teddy bear
bring me with you everywhere
in your backpack I could go
in sunshine rainfall wind and snow
If ever you find that your heart hurts
hold me close I’ll be a comfort
cuddle me tight before bed
kiss me on my fuzzy head
And in the morning I’ll still be there
your comfy cozy teddy bear
Baba
overworked
underappreciated
never complained
love by action
respect
love
respect
respect
respect
Sherbet
Sweltering
ninety-six!
wiping my brow
I put the lawnmower back
smell of fresh grass
little birds come to pick the seeds
Ahh.
An ice cold box of mango juice.
