Your House

suchgr8heights by suchgr8heights · Oct 7, 2004 · 220 views · Journal

(another entry that should be in the poets forum, I know)

i pass it every day, your house
sometimes I slow my pace
sometimes I say "hey neighbor!"
If I happen to see your face

i think it's beautiful, your house
fashioned so uniquely
I wonder what’s within
If only you’d invite me

I’ve walked the pathway to your house
I knocked three times or more
Why did I turn and leave?
I wanted to kick in the door

Leaves of trees around your house
Are turning fiery hues
A cup of tea would be bliss
I walk by, it’s your cue

Snowflakes have shrouded your house
It’s Glistening in the sun
Dreams of snow play in your yard
Together having fun

I know I have your number somewhere…

Hello?
Hi! It’s me, Alana, I live down the steet.
Oh, Hi, need a cup of sugar? Baking something sweet?
Actually, have you heard the reports, a blizzard is coming our way.
Yes, I’m well prepared. Do you need anything? Are you okay?
Remember last year, you had just moved here, the snow was unyielding.
Yeah, I was alone in my house for days, caught up on some reading.
You weren’t lonely? Bored to tears?
Now that you mention it, it felt like years.
What a friendless time that had been…
This may seem forward but, wanna get snowed in?
I’d love to.

you are getting into the corners of your mind! love it!

getting snowed in with friends is so fun - for the first day. the second day is boring and by the third day im scrubbing the floor hoping no one will talk to me (whoa! flashbacks!). the occasional power outage is great fun too. i think i would like to have a self imposed power outage party. lets do it! we could play cards by candlelight.

we always tried to have parties the night of a big snowstorm. but even if it did work, my mom would have made all the boys there hike up to zabels house even in the worst weather.

Or that one time when all the boys had to drive home in very bad weather..hahaha!

I loved when I was in school and there was a buzz in the air that snow was coming..I'd wake up the next morning and before my alarm clock even sounded I'd spring out of bed to look out the window and when I saw the blanket of snow...I sunk right back into bed for a power nap before great snowball fights.
