Sinking I bailed
The last of
You overboard the
Weight of you
Pulling me under
Until amidst the
Storm that what
I found myself
In was you
And rather than
Fearing my drowning
I should acquiesce
Giving myself up
To you making
Me deliciously buoyant

MorningHere
Today starts calm
Licking at my
Feet like a
Slow incoming tide
Tickling me with
Wonderment making me
Ask what’s in
Store like a
Late night knock
On my door
My coffee steams
Like a locomotive
Taking me to
Far off adventures
As the thought
Of you sleeping
Brings a warmth
Across me like
The sun rising
East through trees
BattleWeary
We are limping
Wounded by the
Ravages of a
Love war walking
Back home wholly
Uncertain if home
Is the same
As we left
It battle weary
We take our
Hearts away feeling
The numbness of
Silence we never
Ended you know
Just grew quiet
Perhaps we spent
On each other
What we had
And now pick
Up the pieces
Of what we
Had long ago
StartingOver
A new day
Stands before me
Clear of concern
Like a swimmer
On the blocks
Knowing that soon
I will dive
Headlong into something
That will surround
Me somewhere new
I will swim
In this newness
And emerge on
The other side
To the cheers
Such is love
Such is life
Always starting over
Questions (end of Brandon)
Oh wait did
I could I
Have maybe i
Did perhaps while
Doing other things
I said could
I have said
Maybe I did
Unaware of what
I was doing
Might I have
I think that
I did I’m
Sorry if I
Did did you
Could you have
Did I hear
You right when
You said what
You said when
You said that
These are the
Questions left when
The words die
