Happy Valentines Day – Kati's Favorite Poem

Daisies in My Hair and Tulips in a Mason Jar

by Shana Hart

I want to be crazy

sick

in love

I want my eyes to smile

I want to build a house that smells like him

and tastes like us

I want wood floors that creak with his existence 

I want a clothesline to air our dirty laundry

Let the weeds grow tall hiding idiosyncrasies

I want a swing in our backyard that reaches

the rooftops and doesn't leave splinters

When night falls I want to live by candlelight

and the luxury of him

Listen to murmuring hearts and 

let our bodies talk then finally

soft 

small 

images of us

to pull at my sides

begging me to teach

helping me to learn

let there be something awesome

immortal and mightier than us

and let us believe in it together
