A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 88

Day 88: “This Time of Year”


This time of year

feels like a warm hug

a cup of hot cocoa, when the marshmallow sticks to your lip

sitting on the vent with a blanket, filling it up with warm air

finding the perfect gift

when your face just starts getting numb after walking in the cold, making it harder to form words

staying up all night praying for a snow day

string lights cozifying your place

your cat trying to eat the artificial tree

candles, lots and lots of candles

bundling up just to still have your toes feel cold

nostalgia, so much nostalgia it hurts

music that makes you feel young, loved, comfortable

warmth emanating from everywhere


It just feels like magic

A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 66

Day 66: “Lorde & Savior”


I press play

Close my eyes

Breathe


I’m transported

to 2017

“Melodrama” CD blasting

Feeling new feelings

Maturing

Freeing

Enjoying the summer

For once


When I open my eyes

It’s not 2017

It’s now


Still hot as heck

But

Somehow I can tolerate the heat


When I’m listening to “Virgin”

I feel free

Fed

Awake

Confident

Grown

Alive

Capable

Cool


Lorde might just have saved my summer

A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 29

Day 29: “Heaven Is”


What does heaven feel like?


To me, it’s cuddling

With my cat

With my stuffed animal

With my man


It’s listening to a new song from my favorite artist’s

Favorite artist


It’s the fall

And Christmas


It’s the sound of the waves crashing on the beach


It’s a hug from my mom


It’s my favorite comfort tv show

And a cozy blanket


It’s reading the new Hunger Games book

By the window

When it’s raining


It’s the smell of rain

The crash of thunder

The flash of lightning


It’s good food


It’s waking up on vacation

And staying in bed for hours

Because there are no responsibilities


It’s watching my favorite celebrities’ press tours on YouTube


It’s taking naps


It’s a cloudy day


It’s watching the sunrise

And going out for breakfast


It’s a farmers’ market


It’s the perfect date

April 25

Because it’s not too hot

It’s not too cold

All you need is a light jacket


It’s nostalgia
