when her heart broke
it was as though
her lips flapped
upside down
and split
into two chapped pink petals
rent
by wild winds
who sucked
the blooms right out of her.
dizzily
she spun,
fell,
panicked
through dream-clouds
who failed to hold
her deathly silent fall.
he saw this happen you know,
saw her pink drizzled
fears
and caught her
with two gentle hands,
cupped her
with two gentle hands
and sang
“I love you, I love you,”
as he taught her how to float
on gentle kisses,
silently,
brokenly… through
sunrises
and on the third morning
her healed lips pattered,
“i love you too”
then she bloomed
right out of her lips
flew
right out of her lips
to become
his rose petaled
heart.

Hi, my name is Kae Bucher. Thanks for stopping by.
I was born in the Florida Keys, but grew up in the Bay Area before migrating south for college. I completed my bachelor’s in English at Fresno Pacific University in California, where I minored in Christian ministry. I have also had the privilege of serving as a youth pastor.
In addition to teaching special needs students and raising four children, I also studied Special Education as a graduate student at FPU. I have now been writing for over twenty years.
Recently, I have written articles for iPatriot, and I am in the process of converting my front room into a greenhouse. I like storing humor and greenery, weeds and poetry, in mental tin cans. You will find my humanitarian dreams and political leanings organized accordingly.
Feel free to dig through my buckets…
