How do I
Remain cool so
As not to
Scare you off
I’m not a
Hunter stalking prey
Nor am I
A pointer rousing
Grouses but instead
Just a guy
Liking another guy
Category: Friendship
Secrets (for Fred)
And I held
It in never
Daring I thought
That he wouldn’t
Like me so
I turned and
Said excuse me
I love you
And all was
Good by then
SparklingWater (for Fred)
And there you
Were this tall
Glass of sparkling
Water that tickled
Me little bubbles
Popping on my
Nose making me
Laugh this freshness
That cleansed so
Many other meals
Making me forget
My heart full
Of heart ache
Your freshness made
Me believe that
A stranger could
Make me laugh
Again at last
RiverYouAre
I dip my
Hand into the
River you are
Feel your current
Feel your cold
Then lay languidly
On flat rocks
Sunning myself in
Your smile warming
Rings (for Fred)
Oh this is
Easy sometimes someone
Surrounds you they
Compliment you they
Can’t believe their
Own so they
Become something their
Own which is
Nothing with you
But
There’s no you
Without them because
Most of the
World are more
Interested in them
Then in me
