: A Nickel for Thoughts of You
|
on Tuesday, February 21 @ 17:03:22 UTC
CJHeck writes:: " I wish I had a nickel
for every time I think of you
watching TV in your creaky chair,
chin parked on your chest,
- not sleeping, just resting
your eyes for a minute...
or with your brows furrowed,
chasing an errant whisker
through the lather
on the stranger in the mirror
or your gnarled hands working leather
and the amazing precision
of your intricate designs,
considering the size of those hands
or you secretly watching me
from across the room
- and me secretly catching you
secretly watching me
or your gentle touch
when you pass my chair,
just because you're glad I'm here.
Love is measured
in so many little things
and who knows,
life might be metered in hours.
It isn't really about the nickels
- but it would be fun
to see the almighty pile of coins. "
