Chasing Forever

“Where the hell is Microsoft Word?”

(Because it up and moved, the little twit. I think the computer hates me.)

And I love you because –while shooting ice crystals at bad guys – you tell me right where it is.

“Where the hell is Microsoft Word”…chuckling to yourself. Cause you know I can’t do computers after 10 pm. And you think it’s cute.

Just like you know that shoes=evil and a hard day needs a good glass of wine.

That’s why I’m chasing forever with you.

Because even when I forget that you have to brush your teeth with your shoes on,

To dry the glasses after I wash them,

(Or, to be kind when the day weighs too much)

The friction between us

Only serves to provide the heat to seal our souls closer together.

‘Cause darlin, we can chase forever ‘till the end of our days,

But unless the two become one,

The two under one roof, are one too many for any

Sort of serenity.

And being knit together

Only happens as I unwind you,

And you unhinge me,

And He does something marvelous

With our single threads.

So baby, I know sometimes my red hair colors my words,

I re-enact July 4^th in our kitchen, staging my own independence day,

And I ignore the miracle that is us.

But I will ever chase forever with you –

Because you said “Will you?”

And I said “Yes.”

And that sealed the deal.

“Let no man sever. Welcome to forever.”

Pretty Lamp

So my dad loves to go to auctions to get bargains, but my mom won't let him bring anything else into her house. So, when I said I needed lamps, he brought me one. A panel or two was broken and well.... it looked like this:

A very bad product of the seventies. But now.....it looks like this:

Which is quite the improvement I think!
