Off Topic

Most of my poems revolve around two themes - desire for something you do not have and sadness. However, every once in a while, I write something that is playful and happy...and I wonder what in the world was going on in that moment that made me write something so out of the ordinary for me.

Giggling
Bangs tickle my nose
I want to jump in
To splash around
Not caring what gets ruined
To stand beyond the awning’s edge
In the middle of a stream
Playing
And somehow
It happens
Between there and here
I age
But not as much as yesterday
