He was so unsuspecting. He snuck up on her, in a place, where she would not expect him to be. Yet, he was everything she wanted. No, he was not perfect, but he was perfect for her.

Her heart raced as she realised where she was. Keys jingled across the room and light footsteps made its way towards her.
Thomas stopped mid-stride on his way out the door. His heart was heavy, as an anchor in the Chesapeake Bay. He turned, took a few steps and looked at the woman he had loved for fifteen years.
I see the sun
Glowing brighter than a 50 watt bulb
And I am tempted outside;
I see the sun
Glowing brighter than a 50 watt bulb
And I am tempted outside;
I step on the grass carpet
And it feels like heaven under my toes;
My limbs flex
My arms stretch
My eyes turn to heaven
And I bid the Father hi;
In two steps
I bend at the waist
And dip my nose
To the bouquet of hibiscus
Unfurling in her pose;
Her scent is light
Her petals frail
She trembles at my touch;
The noon day sun peeks over my shoulder
Eager to touch her petals;
With my eyes close
I stash the memory of life’s simplicity
Into the drawer of my cranium for posterity;
In another day
She will bow and pray
And off to her maker she will go.
