Positive affirmations

That would be the day.
You should see the day.
This could be the day.
This could be my lucky day.

We could start a garden.
We could be a garden.
I could be a garden.
You could start my garden.

I have been a rose.
You have arisen.
I get a rise out of you.
And off we go.

There have been mornings
I have awoken on a boat
In a fog
Head throbbing

One husband, then two.
I would be a lover.
I could be your lover.
I could love you so good
If you would just
Get out
Of the way.

I used to end every poem
The same way I began it
Light candles over the phone
Cry through windowsills.

 Now I dream of a good mortgage
A morning without terror
And I know I’ll never be enough.
I could be enough for you.
I could be enough for me.
That would be the day.
