Koe

Hair like beautiful flame

Wild and untamed

No matter how she smoothes it

And forces it into her styles

Eyes that change day to day

Mood to mood

And outfit by random outfit

She is the one that makes me smile

Over the stupidest things

Makes me laugh

Or scar my throat by singing

Over the blaring radio

While zipping down I-5

There are the times

When she annoys me

Making me want to be as far away as possible,

Other times I want to hang out

Until the rising sun scolds us for not sleeping

We can make the most horrible of nights wonderful

By curling up on chairs or couches or her bed

And just talking about what has happened since last time

We sat and talked

She is one who can dare me to do things that scare me

And make me feel like the only opinion that matters,

Is mine

She is inspirational and exotic

Strong but caring

She will always be there for me

And I for her

Through thick and thin

This wild, untamed woman

With flaming red hair
