Fireworks
blaze across a dark sky
lighting up the heavens
gasps and whoops from all around,
But l see only you.
Lightning
forks down in a storm
thunder crashes, rain lashes
people run for cover,
But l feel only you.
Christmas
tinsel, angels, baubles, presents
the smell of turkey
in the warm air
White Christmas on the radio,
But l hear only you.
I want a billion dollars
I want an end to war
I want to live forever
But there’s something I want more,
I want only you.
