I want to
Keep you secret
Far away from
The world nestled
Here in my
Heart I don’t
Want to announce
Look at us
But instead slip
Quietly into and
Out of places
Us two knowing
What we are
And letting the
World witness it
On their own

OverBoard (for Brandon)
Jumping into turbulent
Seas called to
Action you leapt
Feet first absent
Of your own
Safety and pulled
Me from myself
On the beach
You breathed air
Into my lungs
Reviving me saving
Me from the
World that had
Cast me overboard
MyInspiration (to Brandon)
These words trip
And fall cascading
Down my fingers
Like a Rocky
Mountain stream into
The pool that
You are where
They swim on
Your eyes as
Languidly as teenagers
Skinny dipping in
Moon lit ponds
Swim with me
Here splash about
Giddy with joy
Dunk your head
Under and rise
Refreshed for you
Now are my
Words my inspiration
GoodMorningSweetheart (to Brandon)
I sit knowing
That you’re asleep
Curled like an
Infant under sheets
Dreaming of things
Even possibly me
Awaken to words
That dance like
Ballerinas across stage
Knowing that you’re
Here with me
And my coffee
Good morning sweetheart
PresentYou
And like origami
We started flat
And two dimensional
Then with our
Hands we have
Been fashioned into
Something beautiful like
Diamonds in mountains
We have discovered each
Other amidst boulders
And finally have
What we’ve always
Wanted for Christmas
