COMFY SLIPPERS

You fit me like a pair of old worn slippers

Soft, warm, comfortable

You mold to my shape and conform to my mood

When I am feeling lonely

You caress me

Even your frayed edges have a familiar feel

They are part of your charm

Each wear mark holds a memory

A special place in my heart

Each stain tells a story

Of our time together

You are always there when I need you

To make me feel secure

I would be lost without you

MY UNIVERSE

You are the moon at night

As you light up my way

You are the blazing sun

Giving warmth to my day

The beauty of the stars

Sparkle in your eyes

You are my universe

As boundless as the skies

You are the vast oceans

Filled with unending love

You are the earth beneath me

And the firmament above

You are everything

That I could ever wish for

You rival the cosmos

It is you I adore

THE MOON WORE A ROSE

She wore a red dress

That fit like an embrace

It draped about her

And flowed with grace

Ebony hair cascaded

Over her shoulder bare

Her skin porcelain white

A flower most fair

The light she emitted

Was as soft as a kiss

Evening surrounded her

With shades of bliss

She walked on air

As if in a dream

Stars sparkled about her

She was all agleam

I held the red rose

Up to the moonlight

And it did dress her

In splendid delight

One perfect night

Of light and shadows

I will always remember

When the moon wore a rose
