RelationshipBuilt (to Bryan)

Here are the

Rocks of a

Solid foundation for

Relationships

Affection respect truthfulness

Compassion empathy charm

Wit intimacy sex

The mortar is

The work invested

The water is

Sweat build on

Strong footings dont

Build on the

Shifting sands of

Attraction it is

Prone to dissolve

TheseAreHappiness

We think that

We feel a

Certain way when

In reality it’s

Just a thought

When you’re blue

Listen to the

Laughter of children

The bark of

A dog smell

A flower and

Hug a tree

These are the

Things of happiness

Not your mind

Happy

I’m happy for

No reason like

A child is

Happy simply to

Be outside or

Happy simply knowing

That there are

Presents at Christmas

Happy for everyone

Getting one it’s

A blessed feeling

Knowing that the

Angels kissed me

Last night granting

Me my wishes

NewWorld

It’s early and

Like a child

I wipe away

Sleep finally being

Moored to morning

I realize like

An adventurer that

What I dreamed

Is different from

What I see

In dreams I

Remembered you familiar

But now this

New world is

Absent of you

I must conquer

This new land

Alone and discover

Other potential treasures

OverAgain (for Julian)

Let us play

You bring your

Trucks and bulldozers

And I’ll bring

My pail and

Shovel let us

Create something something

Different time and

Again let us

Play house sitting

Down for tea

And crumpets expressing

Dreams and desires

Over and over

Again let us

Let us over

And over again
