Telka in Poetry & Free Verse

enjoying things as they are

my defenses are melting, like sugar over tea

i have a one-way ticket to every sappy young woman’s dream,

so i’m closing my eyes and enjoying it,

enjoying things as they are.

the baby’s breath you bought me, are drying by my bed

you’d think I’d throw those things away by now, but I like the reminder of you instead,

so i’m closing my eyes and enjoying it.

enjoying things as they are.

the warmth of your care and the warmth of your heart

i’d sit with your in silence, i’d hold you in the stars

and i’m closing my eyes to enjoy it,

enjoying things as they are.
