You

Your love is the winter afternoon sun,
never harsh, never too cold...
Just enough to wrap me in it's warmth
and I lie contented in that embrace...

Me

A storm outside hardly matters,
inside it's an apocalypse.
So what can a few gales do....
When I know a tornado awaits...
Like the ship in a raging storm,
I unfurled the sails of courage.

Hospital


In the hospital, I saw a fight,
 A fight between life and death
Some win, and I see a sigh of relief.
Some loose and lo! behold, I hear wailing.....
