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

And so we’ve

Turned that corner

From leaf to

Fall from lover

To friend from

Important to convenient

What was once

A priority has

Now become normal

But a bland

Tepid normal like

A cooling cup

Of coffee still

Packing its punch

But lacking heat

So many times

Before have i

Rowed these streams

That first rapids

Then dump into

A lake of

Complacency fine we’ll

Be the embers

Of friendship no

Longer stoking the

Flames of desire

Oh and whew

We still dance

The dances bobbing

About each other

Like ice cubes

In a glass

Bumping and scraping

Jostling and dunking

Like checkers jumping

Over each other

Triumphant like snowflakes

Leaping from different

Clouds but falling

Softly slowly together

A field of

Wildflowers is a

Beautiful sight all

Moving in unison

With the wind

Until someone picks

A few for

A bouquet on

A table top

Now that one

Of many becomes

A One of

Few brightening up

A room or

A person I

Feel as though

I’ve been picked

By you and

Now became a

Thing of beauty

Just for you
