THE PENNACLE

I had to dust you off

see if you still work

I've used you for pleasure

but to also take away the hurt

You are very reliable

every minute of every day

You are my favorite without a question

I won't ever let you get away

I can't live without you

with you I can say what I need

I love the way you feel when I hold you

Your flow is heavenly to me

So i’ll pick you up tonight

And I know you’re waiting for my hand

You are the pen that creates the words

That follows my every command

So lets get together more often

I’d love to hear what you have to say

You are the essence of my poetry

And once again you’ve made my day

You Should Have Fruit Named After You

©2013 Wayne Box Miller

I have come to realize you’re so sweet

You should have your own section in produce

Surrounded by fruit on all sides

Making them look better to the eye

But they don’t grow em’ like you

You’re always fresh to death

You’re becoming my favorite flavor

The thought causes me to lose my breath

Like the orange that I love to squeeze

I’ll peel back the layers of your mind

And let the vitamin T engulf me

Hoping I don’t run out of time

I want to take a bite of your apple

Surrounded by your pears

You should have fruit named after you

That I can get anywhere

Cantaloupe must be your cousin

Succulent are your last names

Sweet like strawberries

I’m guessing the taste will probably drive me insane

They say the blacker the berry

But I say the sweeter the T

Is there a pomegranate on earth?

That can possibly compete

Black cherries are jealous

Because you’re one of a kind

You should have a fruit named after you

Watermelon is certainly tryin’

But it’s the one in the mirror

The one I have seen

The one I’ve gotten to know

That is getting to know me

You should have a fruit named after you

Orangnewatermelonappleloupeagranate cherries

Hard to find, the rarest of kind, and 

If you’re lucky, you’ll live to taste it

You should have a fruit named after you

But you already do

When I think of the sweetest fruit

I simply call it…

You
