Sometimes I feel like crying
for no other reason than your
cheeks as silky as the petals
of a rose which I caress
with the back of my hand
up and down, so slow
I could freeze
this moment in time
reach out and grab
this memory in time
forever draft and store it
in the back recesses of my mind.
Sometimes I feel like crying
for no other reason than your
laughter saturates the stagnant air
takes off to the boundless sky
like a helium balloon on a warm spring day
where tulips as yellow as the sun
line the path of our existence
with serenity, ecstasy
and we float away together
in serenity, ecstasy
to a place no soul can locate
leave behind the bitter load
which lays us down.
Sometimes I feel like crying
for no other reason than you.

Gorgeous writing, Laurie! I especially love the last lines. So beautiful!
This really tugs at the heartstrings, very nicely done!
You've captured a depth of adoration only the fortunate amongst us enjoy, and done so with vivid sensory imagery. Well done, Laurie.
Lovely and timeless!
There is something we do in my family, it's called "cry for happy." Many tears have been shed not out of sadness, but from a place of deep love. Beautiful. Amy
