A SATURDAY
I am brimming with happiness today,
Partially because he touched me,
He touched my arms, my hair, the nape of my neck,
He bit my cheeks,
I know
That's probably why I can't stop smiling .
Partly also, it's because it's raining,
I hear the rain,
I hear as it falls,
I hear as it hits my gable roof,
The sound it makes as it hits the tiles ,
Echoes in my heart,
It brews feelings unknown,
Feelings I know not by name,
Only that they bring me happiness ,
Only that my heart rhymes with the beat of the patters,
Only that he's holding my hands beneath the covers .
I can trace his smile with my lips ,
I can taste the rain waters in my mouth,
Oh, what a divine feeling!
Oh, what a Saturday!
A Saturday not of the books,
But one, only my heart knows.
