I don’t want
Another after you
I’m tired of
Dancing my feet
Hurt my throat
Is dry and
My heart heavy
Let me sit
And remember but
No one ask
Me to dance

Realization
Like the fog
That rolled in
From the sea
You hid the
The things that
I normally see
Creating a world
Of touch rather
Than sight searching
I found you
Explored you knew
You but today
The sun has
Burned off the
Fog and I
See that you
Are no different
From the others
That I knew
OverAgain
And now in
The silence of
A midnight snowfall
I see the
Boot prints leading
From door to
Car my only
Memory of you
I’ve heard this
Melody before sung
Into my ears
The songs of
Desire but yours
Was a symphony
Alone again and
At last I
Realize that you
Like so many
Others were looking
For something hoping
That I’d fit
When I didn’t
You packed up
Your instruments leaving
Me at least
A little better
Than you found
OurBounty (to Brandon)
And like a
Barren field we
Tilled picked rocks
And planted the
Friendship seeds watered
Them with interest
And curiosity weeded
The distractions of
The others basked
Them in the
Sunlight of affection
And harvested them
Last night tonight
Let us sit
At our table
In each other’s
Arms and feast
Upon the bounty
That we both
Have tenderly sowed
TuckedAway (to Brandon)
There is a
Box which I
Keep tucked away
Somewhere south of
My chin and
North of stomach
Where I keep
Trinkets and baubles
And of which
Few ever see
I showed you
Last night this
Treasure trove explained
Things and let
You touch delicately
You handled things
With care and
Compassion no longer
Hidden they are
Now ours to
Play with pretend
With dream with
And simply enjoy
