soul sister

I drink mint tea and chew sunflower seeds

On the Sunday afternoons we do not frolic.

Saturdays are for strawberry scented hugs

Amidst seasons of sunshine at pink picnics.

We floated on the floods of fatal adoration,

Bracing ourselves for a rainfall of devotion.

Even the grey skies blushed for a moment!

My dearest friend and I drink chamomile tea

At a café by a glossy privet tree on Fridays.

The sun never scalded the way her warmth

Ignites a blazing flame in my heart’s core.

My comrade’s grace illuminates any heaven

One could ever gain the privilege to enter.

Our souls are the identical twins we are not-

I can hardly wait for them to frolic together.
