Love Poem: Today

Written by: Elizabeth Baker

Today

It's lightly
raining
outside

And the birds
are chirping
in the trees.

The one 
she loves is
in slumber

She wants to
awaken him

But she knows 
that she
can not.

Sweet senses stir of moistness in the air.

she loves 
it when it
rains, for it 
sooths her 
so.

A light 
afternoon snack
is her soda
and cigarettes.

She has 
thoughts of waking 
up her love

But fear of 
the beast
resides 
in her.

It is lightly
chilly out,
so she will
go inside

Then who 
knows what
will come
next.
