Why Do I Miss Thee? [2001]
Why do I miss thee?
Those sneakers I wish to see,
Your smile that thou shall greet
That bears those small shiny teeth
A blanket covers your world
Protection from thy heat or cold
Those almonds in the moon
Thou cannot wait to behold so soon
I ask the question again
Why do I miss thee?
To wonder I cannot refrain
Why I feel such glee
To see you amidst the thorns
You are the only rose in the bush
As if everything adjourns
I hear the silence of a hush
Maybe it is your smile
Or the brainchild of a smile
Why do I miss thee?
Admiration, it may be.
