Arrival

Sitting here alone

Window seat watching

Clouds float by

Distracted by voices

Behind in front

Catching the occasional

Peel of laughter

Reminding me of

Yours as clouds

Float on by

But this time

You’re in front

Of me out

There beyond clouds

Waiting for me

And the laughter

That I hear

Now high above

Clouds that float

Float on by

Will soon soon

My love be

Replaced by your

Very own glee

As you run

Abandonedly towards me

Beneath the clouds

ButWhatIf

Don’t we all

At our desks

In a meeting

Or at dinner

Drift silently away

Wondering and wishing

For things or

Someone or with

Things with someone

Don’t we all

Ponder what if

What if when

When will wishes

What if wishes

Until of course

A cough a

Bell a call

Plucks us out

From our dream

Back to whatever

Drum we march

But what if

What if what

And where and

When and how

And with whom

Don’tWeAll

Don’t we all

Don’t we all

Wish don’t we

Wish or hope

Don’t we all

Don’t we all

Dream don’t we

Dream or expect

Don’t we all

Don’t we all

Accept don’t we

Accept or settle

Don’t we all

Don’t we all

Disappoint don’t we

Disappoint or discard

Don’t we all

Don’t we all

Do just that

Joust

It’s the chinks

In your armor

Which sets you

Apart from others

But when I

Touch them I

See so many

Blows to your

Heart I can

See that they

Hurt but obviously

You’ve just been

Bruised not pierced

Harmed not crippled

To perhaps joust

Again with me

Forever

Just a few

More days and

Finally and forever

We’ll be together

Until I have

To leave again

But those two

Days will be

My forever more
