I don’t know

If anything

Compares

To a kiss

On the cheek

From a little kid -Surprise

Every smile is a small victory -Single mom hope

If I were

A piece of clothing

I would be

High waisted

Hugging your delicious waist

And flattering

Your beautiful curves

Like magic -Full length mirror

I wanted

To make my life

Like a perfect omelet

That would stay together

When flipped over

But instead

I made

A scramble

With bits

Of delicious -Chef’s surprise

When there are no fireworks

But small hands

Grasping your hair

Happiness

And soft

Soccer ball laughs -Knock sense into me

Weird poems

Breakfast Sandwiches

And whip cream

Soft memories

Of those

That touched my heart -Pleasure

Buds grew from her touch

On my pulse

She surprises me

Eyes a never before seen blue

On me -Woman crush

If you're enchanted

By social awkwardness

Art of body

Created by

Baby

Pain

And love

Like I am -I would want me

She served up

Her I have no choice

But not to fail

Meal -Just have to

I’m a wild flower

At the side of a busy street

Please

Get off the bus

Sit with me a while

Tell me -Calling me

Create a shy smile

Be there

At least in moments

Without promises

Sharing love

With mine -Inspiration

I see

So many

Juicy women

Of all kinds

I hope you

Don’t let anyone

Squeeze the life

Out of you

I notice

The way you feel

When he is looking

At all the others

And you are just there

Trying not to

Let it bother you

And most of the time

There is nothing wrong with looking

People are beautiful

But

If he doesn’t show you

Just how juicy

He thinks you are

I say

Walk in the other direction -I thought I was juicy

I have watermelon sweet

Strawberries in June

Wishes for you -Little boy in the summer

Rainbow baby

I hope

Your sweet days

Don’t disappear

Too soon

You are

My bright day sun

And

Your sister is

My bold night moon -Day and Night

I would love your cracks and bruises. -Stories

More funny faces

More love -Being silly helps

Everyone is an artist

Every day -To those that don’t know

I noticed. -Not just any flower
