Done (guest post)

I’m that good

Guy with dark

Secrets whom you

Always want but

Ignore when they’re

In front of

You if we

Ain’t smitten by

Each other then

What’s the point

FirstKiss (metered rhyme)

And off we

Went to run

Off and into

The sun

You trotted like

A horse I

Knew you would

Of course chasing

You still I

Ran until I

Could no longer

For you were

Much stronger at

Once I yelled

Out loud come

Back I’m not

That proud I

Need a little

Time to help

Me realign when

Back you came

To me grinning

And saying gee

I held onto

Your should’r and

Couldn’t be bolder

With your hands

On my hips

I mustered our

First kiss

Potatoes (to Mike C.)

One of the

Biggest mistakes we

Make is keeping

Ourselves from others

Whether it’s due

To fear or

Degrees of protection

People prefer truth

So why not

Offer it up

Because sooner or

Later it’s going

To surface much

Like the rocks

In a field

Once mistaken for

Potatoes that simply

Can’t be peeled

TheBestYou (to Bean)

The only thing

That we’re charged

With in this

Life is simple

Do the absolute

Best you can

Not given circumstance

Upbringing or status

Simply the best

You can muster

Despite your shortcomings

No one is

Better than you

At doing you

Therefore be you

The best you

Because that’s one

Thing no one

Besides you is

Qualified to do

Laughter (to Bean)

Your laughter peals

Like steeple bells

In some far

Off town reminding

Me of time

It sounds to

Me quiet like

Rain tapping the

Window and sometimes

As loud as

Rolling thunder across

Wheaten plains but

Mostly it’s those

Barely noticed giggles

That tickle me

Like snowflakes that

Alight on noses
