LoveForever

I don’t love

In order to

Be loved I

Love to love

And once even

If we stop

Loving I will

Always love simply

Because you are

Now in my

Heart and it’s

There that you

Shall forever stay

YourEyes (to boo)

When I look

Into your dark

Deeply dark brown

Eyes I see

Calm pools on

Moonless nights and

Hear the chirping

Of marsh toads

And feel the

Steam rising like

A million separate

Sighs your eyes

Beckon me to

Slip in slowly

To your dreams

Dipping toes timidly

Then diving beneath

And swallowed completely

LifesLullaby (for Tino)

Whenever you do

Anything that you

Love to do

You always do

It well because

Doing that which

You love allows

The heart to

Sing the miraculous

Song of heaven

Simply life’s lullaby

RememberSummer

Even inside I

Can tell fall

Is coming not

By color but

By wind licking

Trees and grass

Soon leaves will

Leap like tiny

Spinning parachutes landing

And carpeting everything

Under foot calico

Fleeing from chills

To warming fires

We will huddle

And remember summer

NowIsNow

Life is absolutely

Too short and

Too precious than

To be anything

Less than that

With it honestly

What in the

World are we

Waiting for for

Someone anyone to

Tell us that

It’s okay really

What about us

Looking at each

Other and deciding

Now is Now
