And then like
Storm clouds which
Pass and sun
Breaks free your
Texts warmed me
Wrapped their arms
Around me like
A protective parent
After nights nightmares
Like fresh mountain
Air they filled
Me with hope
Oh and excitement
Like a boy
With a puppy
You found me
A new friend
No one asks
Me to write
But you did
So I do
Just as you
Asked for kisses
So I did
Aren’t these words
Just like kisses
Taunting and biting
Sweet and soft
Like the insides
Of your lips
Here in morning
I find peace
Rising like the
Sun East it
Grows with time
And covers everything
Like late night
Snow softly and
Slowly blankets landscape
And summer rain
Cools dancing children
Peace is the
Breath of God
On everyone there
A place a
Place rarely touched
That when touched
Unlocks all of
Life’s passions it
Is a place
This place where
Lovers swim languidly
In the cool
Pools of each
Other there they
Find their reflection
For me it’s
Right there six
Inches just south
Of your chin
Burying skeletons is
Easy but exhuming
Them and facing
The ghosts from
Your past is
Hard face them
Unleash them and
Tell them you’ve
Wronged ask them
for forgiveness this
Is but one
Gateway to Heaven
