From around a
Blind corner you
Came surprising me
Face to face
We stared and
Stammered and sighed
And sought refuge
Inside of ourselves
Hoping the other
Wouldn’t see and
Then smiles broke
Free exposing us
And our chagrin
To each other
Then we began
Right there something
We call us
In my life
I’ve learned to
Listen to the
Songs in my
Heart some are
Bittersweet melodies others
Are sensual sambas
While others are
Joyful choruses and
Some the sweet
Sounds of far
Off flutes but
All of them
Are my songs
Composed for me
Up in heaven
Thumbnail smiles and
Two pups in
Arms happy eyes
Sang soft sweet
Songs of affection
Chatting turned secrets
And teasing and
Laughter what’s next
Only heaven knows
But I’m glad
I met you
Even this briefly
When we started
We were maybe
Maybe this maybe
That maybe here
Maybe there and
Maybe then then
We were a
Thing a thing
Then and a
Thing there and
A even a
Thing way over
There but then
I realized that
Night that what
I really wanted
Was everything everywhere
Not just something
So I chose
Nothing nothing to
You or me
Like the wind
That brings rain
Like the wind
That rustles leaves
Like the wind
That whisks heat
Like the wind
That falls snow
Like the wind
You I never
Listened to until
Now when I
Don’t hear it
