Bubbles

  come join me in the tub



as i bask in the warm 



water with bubbles 



cradling me from 



head to foot 



like a warm, soft blanket 



in the winter time



humming to the music 



in the background



watching the candles  



flicker with an orangey  



blue glow



feeling so pretty



in my birthday clothes



so soft and sensual



a gentle breeze floating in



curtains swirling like gowns 



twirling at a ballroom dance



contemplating all 



the shapes and sizes



of those sparkling bubbles



feels like i stole a piece 



of the rainbow



inhaling the lilac scent



oh, so sweet



feels like i've taken 



the fast track to heaven    





  the fast track to heaven



cleansing my soul



renewing my energy



so i can begin a new day



with no worries



time to shed the layers of anger



the layers of disappointment



a time for peace 



a feeling of calm



a time for hope renewed



after i've lost the weight 



of this world



i step out of the tub



feeling like a brand new girl



ready to be smothered 



by open arms 



and honeysuckle kisses
