I sit knowing
That you’re asleep
Curled like an
Infant under sheets
Dreaming of things
Even possibly me
Awaken to words
That dance like
Ballerinas across stage
Knowing that you’re
Here with me
And my coffee
Good morning sweetheart
Category: Friendship
PresentYou
And like origami
We started flat
And two dimensional
Then with our
Hands we have
Been fashioned into
Something beautiful like
Diamonds in mountains
We have discovered each
Other amidst boulders
And finally have
What we’ve always
Wanted for Christmas
MorningHere
The morning starts
Ghoulish with clouds
Hanging low like
A million spider
Webs everything is
Hazy like eyeglasses
Steamed from sipping
Hot coffee the
Air is heavy
With moisture like
The inside of
A dry cleaner
As bird song
Is muffled by
This heavy coat
WhoYou (for Brandon)
You’ve become something
That people will
Know you’ve been
Added to these
Words and the
World will wonder
Who
Let them for
All that is
Needed is that
I know that
The who that
I mention is
You
ThisIsWhatItsLike (for Brandon)
We laid a
Foundation of friendship
Brick by silly
Tripping brick opening
Up like a
Compact mirroring smiles
We compared each
Other like boys
With cars and
Began to know
These things filled
Me with something
Long forgotten Joy
Dance with me
Now in our
Ballroom take my
Hand and lead
Let me follow
Until I do
Take the wheel
Steering us away
From craggy cliffs
Be with me
Now like bumblebee
To flower and
Let us be
Together as the
Universe has intended
Creating something fresh
Never witnessed before
In this lifetime
