Words and actions
That unlock the
Hearts lock springing
It open quietly
Are very romantic
Like whispers in
Twilight and breaths
On the cheek
Hearing heavens harp
Sweet soft song

SomethingYou (to Us)
Without love desire
Is but veneer
Applied cheaply and
Thin giving the
Appearance of beauty
Ah but love
Love is walnut
Hickory and cherry
Dense heavy rich
Able to withstand
Even strong hammers
And often sculpted
Into long lasting
Things of beautifulness
On its own
Look for me
And find me
Take me home
And create me
Into something you
TwoThings (to Us)
Appearing to be
Like the sun
Two things happening
When we are
Together almost always
First the spring
Following the winter
The unexpected blossoms
Of our smiles
Budding and stretching
Across our faces
And then the
Cloudbursts of laughter
The simple downpour
Of saturating happiness
CicadaSummer
Oh and again
The gnawing started
That sweet cicada
Song of summer
That raspy buzzing
Sound that takes
Me all the
Way back then
Remember those days
Those melodious memories
Cocktails and stars
And those fireworks
Off the pier
Many years ago
All those were
Long before we
Ever even knew
Who we were
Or would become
Separate each other
Dogged summer days
As brittle as
All the photographs
Kept in books
All those days
So long ago
OneLittleInch
Sometimes in life
When we stay
Where we are
We miss things
If we move
Just an inch
This way or
That we do
Get impacted by
People like small
Meteor showers and
Falling stars the
Important thing is
To know when
To move there
And it’s usually
When we least
Expect it yet
That one little
Inch changes us
Forever and ever
Not grand gestures
Just an inch
