Like that one
Spot that you
Cannot see in
Mirror or over
Shoulder that one
Spot where you
Know something is
But simply cannot
See you fly
Blind into blizzards
Or trees or
Posts or maybe
Just maybe him/her

MoreToMe
A photograph like
A mirror reflects
You in my
Eyes do you
See yourself in
My twinkling or
Perhaps in the
Smile that breaches
The levees of
Propriety and chagrin
Do you not
Miss your shadow
As it follows
Me now instead
Or do you
Miss your laughter
As it rings
In my heart
This you’ve become
Less for you
More to me
Poetry
Poems live like
Life they blink
And inhale exhale
And sigh sometimes
Roaring while at
Others weeping they
Are my children
Gaining friends on
Their own triumphs
And heartbreak theirs
One day they
Will all breathe
On their own
SnowFirst
The snow collected
Like halos around
Tree roots and
Toilet paper on
Eaves chill kept
It there until
Mid morning sun
Melted like a
Warming pan disappearing
Before my eyes
Like you did
Yesterday you too
Chilled by the
Frost of distance
Being one thing
And then another
First beautiful inspiration
And later something
Needed but invisible
Messages
The one beacon
Reminding me of
Hope during this
Fog of my
Daily life is
Your glowing smile
And your eyes
Which blink like
A ships lantern
Sending coded messages
Across the miles
I am here
And soon will
Be there safely
With you it
Says with winks
