Welcome to My Happy Palace

you'll smile at the following things:
loud music (that you actually like)
food (that tastes good)
((even if it's 3000 calories))
the first swim of the summer
wearing a new sweater
laying on your bed
or the floor,
after a hard workout,
sore lips from too much kissing,
puppies (enough said)
cozy slippers
fresh-fallen snow in an empty field
warm soup
soft pillows
that rain smell while sitting on the porch
or with your window cracked open
a day out in town with your friends
a long hot shower
letting every muscle lose its firmness
when you feel yourself succumb to slumber
///
this room is like a huge fucking tube of chapstick
after your lips get sunburned
(a huge relief)
it's not real right now (but it could be)
if you just opened your eyes.
welcome to my palace, friend
i hope you choose to stay awhile.
