Is it possible

To love without

Definition is it

Possible to achieve

A relationship existence

That occurs simply

Because it does

One that doesn’t

Define or redefine

What it is

But just exists

Because two people

Decided it so

YouMyWater

It is not

It simply isn’t

How I do

But how deeply

That I do

With some I

Wade pulling up

Trousers to keep

Them dry because

Of my uncertainty

With others I

Cast them aside

And swim languidly

But with you

With you I’m

Already naked with

No clothes needed

No defenses required

Just me with

You my water

Diving deep deeper

Than ever before

WhyCan’tThisEnd

Why don’t some

Things just end

Why do some

Things carry on

Why can’t we

Simply be a

Machine that seizes

Up and stops

Once the oil

Of our love

Turned to sludge

But no oh

No we continue

Whacking and hacking

As though we

Were clearing jungle

Pointing out this

And accusing that

Like a couple

Of barristers arguing

Their clients innocence

Are we both

Not guilty of

The same crime

Stealing the love

That we thought

Was clearly given

PeaksAndValleys

Standing in the

Valley of my

Broken hearts I

Look to the

Mountains of possibilities

And wonder that

If I climb

Up there will

There be sky

Or will up

There simply be

Other valleys that

I don’t yet

See is love

Really just that

Peaks and valleys

Lifetimes

While it’s true

If I can

Be only with

You for a

Brief time then

Let’s make that

Time be a

Lifetime for lifetimes

Aren’t the measure

Of age but

Rather of happiness
