The Beginning...Happy Valentines Day Joey

The first time I saw you,
I felt something so new.

Your kindness and generosity I could see,
You struck a chord inside of me.

Barista was our first date,
30 minutes I was waiting, you were so late!

You were my first bike ride,
As you urged me to hold tight, I tingled inside.

I remember the long days spent in the library,
When studies were not in the least bit primary.

The auto rides to Ohris and Paradise,
Were a heady concoction of sweet and spice.

In love I think I was falling,
I was so afraid, couldn’t help stalling.

You took care of me, no strings attached,
That’s what drew me to you, completely unabashed.

And thus began our wonderful journey,
Of friendship, love and bon homie.

Irises in the Spring

Irises in the Spring,
Promises of color and joy you bring.
Leaving the frost and cold behind,
As the winter months begin to unwind.
Red, blue, purple and azure,
In the fields you stand so dainty and pure.
Time to bid adieu to the snow,
As the first irises of the season make my heart glow!
