Things My Little Sister Loves

My mom. My dad. The dog.

Macaroni and cheese

with too much cheese.

Books with happy endings.

Music that makes you cry.

Candles and perfume--

(light florals).

Trying to explain color.

Telling me I'm wrong about chiaroscuro.

Buying more pencils.

Light. Darkness. Color. Fruit.

The way the word "citrus" sounds

And how lemons look embroidered on pieces

of cloth.

Pictures of Jesus hugging little children.

Stories about people who look a lot like Jesus.

Getting in the car and not stopping.

Music not loud but throbbing.

Having a full backseat.

Taking pictures and trying to remember.

Telling everybody where to sit.

Rewatching old episodes.

Going to bed late.

Too long hugs

When I finally come home.

.

(A poem about cheese, after a fashion, for @inklings-challenge)

Work hard for what you want because it won't come to you without a fight. You have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything you put your mind to. If somebody puts you down or criticizes you, just keep on believing in yourself and turn it into something positive.

each other's shield

"you drool when you sleep" --annabeth chase

nervous first kisses underwater

a love foretold by the augurs

ocean's son, wisdom's daughter

she is the lighthouse in his harbor

blessed by the gods and the stars

memorizing all his battle scars

the architect of the heavens afar

& the cyclone who follows her

raise a knife & refuse to yield

their sweet strawberry fields

campfire songs & burning meals

they become each other's shield

Christian (n.) :

A damn hypocrite

First light flickering

Half dust, half breath

Blown apart by the whirlwind

Going to disappoint you

Cells and atoms; see also: church

Bird that flies through cupolas

Message carrier

Purveyor of false certainties

Grappler with contradictions

Ache

Caught in a time loop, dying

Heart of the heavens

Friend who lied about praying for you

Who endures, has endured, will always endure

Most expensive prize
