Present (to You)

I sit between

My past and

Future some would

Say between the

Jaws of a

Vice ahhhh but

Me I feel

Nestled like a

Hatchling under the

Comfort of its

Mother staring out

To the dawn

And wondering if

Today will be

The first day

I will fly

Kissing (to Boo)

And so I

Kissed someone else

And I knew

Right then that

My lips missed

Yours it wasn’t

The same we

Butted and didn’t

Bled we were

Coarse and rough

Like two rocks

Rubbing against each

Other rather than

Waves that quietly

An easily washed

Upon the shore

NeverEverNever (to boo)

It is said

That when you

Taste something that

You get used

To its flavor

Two minutes later

Not so with

Your kisses I

Never ever never

Got used to

Them which is

Why I miss

Them so today

OldFriends (to You)

The best chili

Is the chili

Prepared one day

And ate the

Next there’s something

About waiting that

Doubles its flavor

It steeps thickens

And deepens color

Parts just disappear

Until they land

Yet once again

And that mmmmm

That’s you too

My old friends

Silence (to boo)

Not talking to

You is the

Same as talking

Because I can

Hear your silent

Voice I’ve heard

It when you’ve

Kissed me and

In your sleep

We may never

Speak again but

Please understand that

I hear you

In your silence
