Aperitif (for Java)

Yesterday was filled

With sunshine and

Frivolity like I

Was sitting at

A cafe near

The Seine people

Watching while enjoying

A sparkling aperitif

It was you

IFeelLike

There are days

When I feel

Like an oak

And other days

When I feel

Like a willow

There are days

When I feel

Like a lion

And other days

When I feel

Like a mouse

But most days

I feel like

A river winding

Its way past

Boulders over mountains

And into valleys

On my way

To the sea

OlderYounger

Sometimes in life

Even sturdy things

Like hickory or

Walnut credenzas require

A face lift

Veneer is applied

A thin often

Gilded or shiny

Layer of freshness

To give the

Appearance of newness

However that which

Allows the new

Is still old

Sturdy and strong

Such are the

Things that older

Younger relationships are

Frequently made of

SculptureGarden

Watching you there

Rifling through drawers

Looking for something

Misplaced or wanted

Moving from cupboard

Over to wardrobe

And back again

Finally close enough

That the trap

Of my arms

Spring tightly shut

Catching your body

In warm embrace

Here in bedroom

In my very

Own sculpture garden

InspirationalLover (for Java ❤️)

I have written

More to you

Than any other

Lover ever before

I have written

About you for

You to you

I have described

You places for

You places within

You you within

Places and yet

You are incomplete

Not that you

Are I am

I will keep

Writing for you

Until the world

Knows you exactly

As I do
