Poem: We Become One

Our bodies fit perfectly into each other

Making melodies beneath the starry skies

As our flaming hearts beat as one

In tune with the rhythm of the endless sea

Our burning passion shoots us up into space

In the direction of undiscovered galaxies

Where the hands of the clock are at a standstill

And piece by piece you and I finally become one

Poem: Two Lovers

Two lovers meet in their secret garden

And among lush bouquets

Surrounded by the beauty of nature

Soul to soul, heart to heart

They make unforgettable memories

That forever remain within them

Even after their date comes to an end

Poem: Memories of Dinner at Grandmother’s House

Though my grandmother has long passed

The memories of my time at her home very much alive 

Her apartment filled with the aroma of fried potatoes

And chicken patties frying on the stove

The table set with gold embroidered plates

And filled with my other favorite treats

I am tempted to pick up the phone

And invite myself over for dinner

Only to realize that she is no longer here

My stomach begins to growl

And I make my way to the kitchen

Ready to recreate the dinner in my own home
