A prescription of hope

They say that love is a drug

and so I wish the whole world could get high

on stunning horizons, 

and jiving, 

and the way their bodies entwine in the darkness.

They say that love is a drug
and so I wish the whole world could just smoke
thoughts swathed in kindness,
pretty words,
and the way she buries them like treasure in her tender heart.

They say that love is a drug

and so I wish the whole world could get high

on spectacular sunsets 

and passion,

and the way his soul alights when she smiles.  

They say that love is a drug 

and so I wish the whole world could swallow

unexpected kisses,

and courage,

and the way that latte warms her hands in the depths of winter.

They say that love is a drug

and so I wish the whole world could get high

on scatterings of stars, 

and laughing, 

and the way her fluid fingertips dance across his skin.
