I know
I do
I think
maybe hope
that you
do too
it’s that
gap that
makes things
like this
even possible
questions questions
this gap
that I
speak of
causes us
to either
stay away
or draw
ever closer
just like
the edge
of ice
at the
waters edge
does one
dare to
step or
simply wait
until one
knows that
it can

LoveAndWriting
In love
and writing
to me
are synonymous
for when
doing both
I am
only honest
and naked
naively hopeful
Yes it
hurts but
only ever
after after
ever after
Hollow
I do
think that
there’s nothing
worse in
the whole
world than
tapping the
chest of
one thought
at first
so promised
to be
a trumpet
only to
discover that
they are
in fact
in reality
a timpani
echoing a
deep and
lonely hollowness
Ache
I ache
not longing
and not
even missing
for what
is gone
is gone
but for
new which
has yet
to come
Intimate (for SweetPea)
And standing
there moist
in towel
you iron
the days
armor as
I sit
sipping watching
wondering knowing
that soon
you will
dress but
in brief
shy interludes
I will
see flesh
that only
the intimate
ever do
