love it

Posted on July 7, 2012 by Susan L Daniels

joy bubbles up
as it does
when we touch

even briefly

yes, no word for it but
joy,
large and breaking with
satisfied pops

spattering
condensing and
preserving sweetness
like boiling fruit and sugar for jam

because
you bring me bouquets of happy
and it is difficult

to concern those smiles

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?

    Smiles, joy, happy key buzzwords for a summer’s weekend.

    Lovely poem – concerning those smiles, capturing and conserving them in lovely bottles of fruity-sugar jam!
