Safe
The warm embrace of your presence surrounds me
holding me tight, dissolving my fears
melting me, washing away tears
Brittle layers fall away from my skin,
shedding my burdens, setting me free
slowly revealing the veritable me
Fond memories come flooding back
illuminated by your aura, glowing with bliss
giving me hope now life is amiss
An ethereal tingling overcomes me,
as I feel your gentle touch assuaging my pain
though I sense you are here it’s not the same
My reverie slowly fades away,
shimmering, becoming a smile on my face
I won’t let go if you don’t.

My Perfect World
In my world,
Where all the roses are the perfect shade of red,
All the oranges are perfectly round,
All the birds sing at perfect pitch,
And the water in every river is pure.
In my world,
Where every blade of grass sits at the same angle,
Every pebble is the same shape and size,
Every wave breaks with the same sound,
And at night, the stars twinkle in unison.
In my world,
Everything is perfect,
For if it is blemished is cannot be allowed,
And so, my world is perfectly empty.

Thank You
Thank you, for teaching me how to smile,
how to laugh,
how to be myself.
You will often be thought of,
you will always be loved,
and you will never be forgotten.
The world is blessed to have been changed by you,
your friends are blessed to have been touched by you,
and I am blessed to be your friend.
In memory of Sarah Frazer
