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
Category: Friendship
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
Caught
You know that
Life is this
Way and that
I prefer that
It means a
World of difference
Be different those
Being the same
Applaud those being
Different because those
Hang you up in
The drive-thru
ThisBestLove (to Melvin)
It is said
That you stumble
Into love that
It catches you
As you fall
Awkwardly at life
Once tripping your
Outstretched arms held
Me helped me
Steadied me put
Me on my
Feet and walked
With me until
I walked alone
At which point
You then disappeared
Sometimes love appears
Like the hands
Of God when
We’re our worst
Making us better
I miss you
This best love
Lattes (for Bean)
At first you
Were the espresso
Hot slightly bitter
Smooth and small
Now years later
We’ve outgrown that
Now we’re a
Concoction of things
Some silky some
Steamy a dollop
Of this that
Now hangs on
Lips causing laughter
We are now
Our little lattes
Sprinkled with the
Spice we are
