"Tender Buttons" Part 1

My Original Poem

Object

Sunglasses

Shinning, shimmering, mirror like looks.

Seeing all images in different ways, seeing everything around in different ways, yet seeing it all the same.

Out of sun comes poison to eyes. Protection needed, protection granted through shinning, shimmering, mirror.

I see you, you see you.

Food

Limes

A blade of grass and a green palm leaf and a deep green sea each more definitive then the last. The brightest green mixed with a soft sun-touched green.

With tough skin, and a smell of citrus, forget the touch and taste the taste. Without touch there is only taste. Juice or solid, bite or drink, both ways to taste.

Many ways tasted many things added. Neither or better none or worse. With a touch of earths salty mineral the bite becomes less than the bark.

Brother lemon and sister orange all are cold, all are tart, yet each their own.

Room

Family Room

Centered in the heart and within the heart in correspondence to the heart. One where all those with same hearts gather. Family and friends welcome the previous always there more often.

A four wall surrounding, with 2 more to enclose, a door and windows to invite. Where we spend every night.

Bright with light and love, the lightest rose pink to enjoy with the color of wheat to comfort the body.

At the centered within the heart you can find the heart and brain of those who enter this room. For it is meant for togetherness but often enjoyed alone.
