“your favourite things”
4.7.2025
What is your favourite flower, love,
that blooms beneath a sky mellowed with rain?
Of roses, perhaps, or one that's more mild,
yet both have made our hearts run wild.
Are you a dog-person, friend,
or do you prefers cats just like me?
Does the barking scare you away,
or remind you of a home one longed to see?
Where in the kitchen did we used to store-
the mugs and kettles, your favourite tea from my hometown's shore?
Whence did the package depart-
addressed to a new name and home, of two worlds apart?
What dessert are you wanting at night?
Mayhaps too late to snack, but craves nonetheless?
What of comfort foods that 'mind you of home?
Or a time unforgotten, on a plate that's still warm?
What did you witness adrift and in dream-
of a future you seek, or a past underneath?
Or of white wings that paints across a dark sky-
their dance along the stars and with moonlight?
What colour do you prefer the most?
A passion in red; hopeful in green;
of a ocean in blue, or delicately light-pink?
What of the weather that suits well your day?
A sunnier sky; a cooler breeze;
or a refreshing spring shower, to nourish your favoured flower?
Alas,
who was it that I asked of those to last?
Who was it that asked you of those last?
