There are certain
Things that we
Need roof food
Water a place
To lay your
Head even animals
Need these things
What separates us
From them are
Our wants desires
And dreams for
Most the needs
Are given and
The wants few
If you have
The needs rather
Than desiring wants
Try to ensure
That less fortunate
Have theirs met
That is a
Dream to dream
Friends we are
And friends we’ll
Be yes we
Knock on the
Door of romance
Like weary travelers
Seeking harbor from
A cold world
A place to
Rest a warm
Hearted hearth which
Renews our hope
That indeed there
Is someone somewhere
Thinking of me
And now I
Know having kissed
Another I now
Know your kiss
The immersion I
Feel from your
Lips like dunking
My head under
Water I’m in
A different world
And when I
Break the surface
Of your kiss
I see your
Eyes like bright
Sunshine making me
Squint and draw
You in closer
Than close to
Me
It’s been a
Month that I’ve
Known you each
Day is something
New a deeper
Cut a stronger
Whack against the
Trees that we
Are coming closer
To finally felling
The other eventually
Leaning towards each
Other becoming one
In the forest
Try not to
Worry about the
Things that appear
Important that you
Lost instead focus
On the things
Presented gifts are
Gifts whether they’re
Wrapped in pretty
Ribbons or plucked
From a bouquet
Revel in surprise
Be humble with
Everything you get
And don’t worry
About those silly
Things you lost
