"I love it when..." Imagery Series

I love it when…

Time slows while we trace

abstract shapes of innocence

with electric tongues.

I love it when…

Your comforting words

blanket my brain

from its own anxieties.

I love it when…

That glorious nighttime spotlight

illuminates and inspires

our miscellaneous shenanigans.

I love it when…

Your heartbeat is the baseline

to the rhythms of my soul

and you strum our dreams into one.

I love it when…

“This feels like home” happens

so the world comes to a hush

and clocks become lazy.
