2014 April 7 * NaPoWriMo * Day 7 [Poem]

Ode To Crystal

       A POEM of love for An inaniMate object 

I love you only with my eyes

I smile to have you near

I look at you throughout my day

So happy that you’re here

I do not need to touch you

To experience you best

I only need to glance your way

To know this happiness

A sanity prescription

I need my daily dose

I really want to keep you

He must not get too close

You sparkle in my presence

Your facets my delight

A treasured thing of beauty

So joyful to my sight

Filled with expensive chocolates

Or apples from my sack;

I like you best when empty

I think you like me back

I admire so much about you

You’re fragile yet so strong

If he would try to break you

In an instant you’d be gone

You’re here because he hurt me

A present after pain

You helped me to forgive him;

He might do it again 

When he comes into the room

I put you on a shelf

I pledge I will protect you

And so protect myself

Insisting on our safey

This promise I will give

With undying affection

I pray we both shall live

And that he never breaks you

I hope deep in my soul

That I’ll love you forever

My lead cut crystal bowl
