Easter

The wind kisses his face,

As tree branches snap

Back and forth,

Adding spring cheers to his place.

*

He smiles horribly-

A bird lifts off a flagpole,

It’s embarrassing to see

The redness on his cheeks.

*

His mind is the field of stars

In the universe, he bites his lips,

Thinking about her face,

and how she’s shared with him her magical grace.

*

It hurts to see light

In her insightful eyes,

Despite the awful barks

Of a dog, a grimace.

*

You can believe in God now-

God whispers in his ears,

The cello strings vibrate,

Singing a heartfelt note.

*

Sugar-sweet scents spread salt,

But only on the space she touches,

Only if it’s truth

Showering fragrant rain on the couples.
