Envelope

My science teacher accused me

playfully and yet fiercely

of stealing an envelope

I had been threatening to peel the cover strip off of the sticky part

so it glues together

because it was just so tempting.

It made me smile.

    What am I doing?

    What am I doing?

    I say I love this

    and I like to think that I'm good at it

    Am I?

    I don't think so anymore

    I forget to practice for lessons I dread

    Twinkle, twinkle

    little star

    how I wonder what you are

    am I your star?

    Up above the world so high

    that's where you are

    that's where I want to be 

  • Intertwined

    I'm never letting go of you

    it's too late

     

    there's special love I've never felt

    and I'm feeling it

    secure in your arms

    happy with your hand in mine and our faces pressed together
