The tinglies.


Little glittery rainbows
Shimmering and coursing down through me
(Because everyone knows that glittery rainbows flow down)
Sometimes they’re just little bursts in my stomach
Some other times they go streaming through my heart
Or they start in my throat and spread all through my chest and stomach
Those tinglies might go racing off my shoulders and down my arms
Shooting out of my finger tips in sparks of light
Now and then they even quiver through my legs, threatening to topple me over
(I suppose I can’t complain, as they’d be making me fall for you)
I know I said that glittery rainbows only flow down
But sometimes those tinglies swirl over, around, and all through my heart
Making me giddy with hope and happiness
As the sparkling fairy dust causes my heart to soar
Like those little, brightly colored plastic ponies
With sparkling wings and shiny, shimmering mane and tail
So childish, innocent, and completely free of care
And now images and memories of Lisa Frank come to mind
Full of pink and purple and rainbows
Puppies, Panda Bears, and Unicorns
All the bright little things that girls love
I’m not sure how I got here, but somehow it fits
It’s you and the things you do that bring me to this place
You fill me with sparkles of laughter and love
You turn the sky to ridiculous shades of rainbow fun
And all my girly, childish hopes and dreams
You are bringing those to life
The only way you could make this better
Is to finally get me my own unicorn
And maybe some ridiculously cute stickers
And tubes of glitter paint
And some absurdly pink stationary
And then I can write you sweet love notes
Signed with hugs and kisses
And those little ring stamps
You know, the pink and purple ones
With the smiley face heart
Or the little cats and dogs
Just remember what I said before
You make me so silly for you
So it’s your own fault
