You’ve become something
That people will
Know you’ve been
Added to these
Words and the
World will wonder
Who
Let them for
All that is
Needed is that
I know that
The who that
I mention is
You

ThisIsWhatItsLike (for Brandon)
We laid a
Foundation of friendship
Brick by silly
Tripping brick opening
Up like a
Compact mirroring smiles
We compared each
Other like boys
With cars and
Began to know
These things filled
Me with something
Long forgotten Joy
Dance with me
Now in our
Ballroom take my
Hand and lead
Let me follow
Until I do
Take the wheel
Steering us away
From craggy cliffs
Be with me
Now like bumblebee
To flower and
Let us be
Together as the
Universe has intended
Creating something fresh
Never witnessed before
In this lifetime
JustLikeThose (to Brandon)
It is said
That love surprises
You that it
Happens like bumping
Into someone at
The grocer or
Like a snowball
Catching you square
In the jaw
It approaches like
A frightened child
By nightmares crawls
To you like
A naughty puppy
It blooms like
Late April snowdrops
And ends like
Sunsets in Santa Fe
But we’ve tickled
Each other like
Wound up Jack-in-the-boxes
Popping up after
A few turns
Love ambushed us
Just like that
Just like those
SeasonsWe (to Brandon)
And so it
Began like setting
Tinder to start
Then fanning catching
Logs to blaze
These conversations dancing
Like a ballroom
Competition spinning and
Ducking and moving
Moved from topic
To topic as
Easily as ice-cream
Melts on a
Warm August day
Leaving us to
Leap like leaves
That jump into
October winds and
Land one atop
One another we
Talked creating a
Harmony like the
Cicadas in summer
These were the
Seasons between us
WeBloom (for Brandon)
I have found
Someone in you
Like a present
That I unwrapped
The surprises keep
Unfolding like fresh
Sheets laid on
The bed crisp
And smooth I
Bring you to
My lips like
My morning espresso
Knowing that with
Every sip my
Mind will bloom
