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
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
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
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
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
