The honk cuts through the crisp fall breeze

Like it slices through my peace!

I become a part of the worldly dart

That can't wait for a blink

I weave into the traffic of thought

Of racing, fast pacing, daunting daily grind

I put the hush behind and rush before 

I put the charge before and the calm behind!

I stream though challenge, swim through the routine tide

I falter and find my balance 

I slip and slide but steady my stride

When I get home, I bring an abstract load

Plonk in the couch and hydrate my inside

Going about on another rush of life

Laundry, Dinner, dishes and homework

The viscious cycle unfolds

I feel like I am walking blindfold.

And then, when I need a tight hug

A peck on my hand, a pat on my back

You come in like decadence

Like a dark chocolate square

Filled with macadamia cream

You snuggle away the stress, you dawn in like a dream

My abstraction perfection, my one stop shop

My coping mechanism, My cashmere shawl

You sweeten my monotony

You warm my skin

With your presence, my biggest treat

With your caress my precious retreat!
