I Wait

The light is on
inviting you
into more than
my home.
Yes. Time has
changed us.
Seasons come
and seasons go.
Like the tree
rings of the
circle, this can
not be erased.
There's no hug
or embrace.
Just a moment.
Patient - I wait.
Forever Timeless

I miss your smile,
your silliness,
your laughter.
I can't fight
the memory,
the love.
You're in my blood,
pumping through
my existence.
Into my life,
my heart,
my breath.
Lasting.
Unfailing.
Timeless.
Not Just Wishes

I want space
and time
with you.
Spending the day
together.
Wrapped in your
arms.
Enjoying a cup
of tea.
I remember your
smile.
I remember your
kisses.
I want that
forever, not just
wishes.
There's nobody
I'd rather do life with
than you.
Reason Behind the Smile
By: Annette Camp
September 16, 2023
To someone
from the outside,
it was a smile
for no reason.
But I knew better.
I knew everything
about the reason
behind the smile.
It was the sound
of lapping water,
and the sight of a
grey dragonfly.
It was talking
over loud music,
and the chatter
in that room.
It was laughter.
It was sunshine.
It was mountains,
rocks and blue skies.
It was wonderful
memories of that day.
It was reminiscing
about the moments.
It was pancakes and
bacon. Steaks and
potatoes, ice cream
and chocolate cones.
It was a kiss. A hug.
A gift from the heart.
And a warm hand
held at night too.
With the shuffle
of the sheets on
the other side of
me, I pause...
And I grin...
I knew everything
about the reason
behind the smile.
