AfterYesterday (to Brandon)

There is a

Peace in knowing

A calm when

Understood like a

Blanket draped over

You on a

Chilly evening or

Catching a falling

Star to be

Gotten and felt

To express and

Be intimate to

Duck ones head

Under the surface

Of affection and

Rise to kindness

This is the

Sun I bathe

In after yesterday

Hear

Your voice to

Me is like

Raindrops falling on

Leaves like snow

Swirling in wind

The clack of

Ice on windows

The whoosh of

Breezy willows the

Surprise of dancing

Disco and DeBussy’s

Lullabies I hear

You absolutely everywhere

Divine

Amongst all the

Creatures the galaxies

The planets the

People amongst the

Eons the chances

That we’d meet

Is small the

Likelihood that we’d

Like each other

Is smaller the

Idea that we’d

Kiss tinier still

This idea that

We’d love each

Other is so

Rare that by

Happenstance it shouldn’t

Happen so what

Are we we’re

The difference that

Only life makes

Purely simply divine

ParadiseFound

To me laughter

Is the sounds

Of angels a

Giggle a guffaw

A belly laugh

A smile these

Are the sweet

Sounds of Heaven

Come tell me

A funny anecdote

Share with me

A secret and

Let us bathe

Together in paradise

Sandbox

And in a

Few hours we’ll

Meet and play

In our sandbox

Creating castles and

Moats to ward

Off challenging armies

We’ll growl like

Bulldozers puff like

Trucks dig and

Sculpt mountains and

Valleys sit back

And relish in

Our world like

God did eons

Ago in creation
