These things I loveA Poem by Clare AshburyMorning dew the world anew Sunlight escape through the willow trees weeping leaves Deer grazing upon the fields Squirrel tails Crow morning calls The first morning stretch Tired sleepy eyes Tea leaves float, tea steam in the air Cat purrs and meows Sunshine pouring through a room Naked skin in the morning light Heartbeats of another Cuddling and heart felt kisses Morning tired smiles A pen in hand, writing for hours A new found story, character, creation Filling pages with words My many handwritings Mood swings from naughty and nice My flaws and shadows Eyes that grab you inside a dark abyss Memories of happy times Childhood rhymes Things I miss Music with lyrics that stick My Grandmother’s old stories I’ve memorized Phone calls that last for hours Meeting someone new Friendships that will always stand Late night hang outs for no reason My smile My lips My ears although small just fit Late nights just alone in thought Being different My voice because I know it’s cute Dragonflies, bumble bees, and butterflies The salty sea Fields of wildflowers surrounding me Fantasies, dreams, and wishes Forehead kisses Early dismissals My mothers face and personality I so gracelessly inherited My fathers laugh My brothers shy nature Being born in February The number 6 and 143 My baby pictures and video scenes Attention when least expected Libraries with no fee’s Book shopping with a pocket full of gold Singing in the shower at the top of my lungs Dancing in a towel or jeans and a bra Loving my body as I look in the mirror My grandfather may he rest in peace My grandmother when I am the only one to make her smile My favorite aunts and uncles Always knowing my family accepts me and will love me no matter what The word “interesting” and “flabbergasted” Silence when I need it most Butterflies flying deep inside my tummy My last name, no one will ever take away My name Clare without the “i” even though it sounds too soft Rose lilies as they open from their closed buds Accents that turn me on Life stories Trust Love that one day will come Future dreams, and possibilities My name one day in gold letter as the author My life as it proceeds, surprises at every turn Everything that makes me And best of all my writing and creativity These are just some of the things I love So hugs and kisses Sunsets of purple and gold Rain storms to fall asleep comfortable and warm. © 2008 Clare Ashbury |
