Wind

Like the wind

That brings rain

Like the wind

That rustles leaves

Like the wind

That whisks heat

Like the wind

That falls snow

Like the wind

You I never

Listened to until

Now when I

Don’t hear it

ThatOneGift (to Grey)

Sometimes life reminds

Me of that

One Christmas long

Ago when for

Days I spied

Upon that one

Gift nestled beneath

The tree knowing

That it was

For me and

When the day

Finally. came it

Went to someone

Else oh the

Gifts that I

Received were fine

But it was

That one that

Made that Christmas

Special to me

LoveDamned

Nights are haunted

By dreams of

Times gone by

Of swimming languidly

In loves sweet

Pools of affection

Remembering smiles summer

Warmth on faces

Are these dreams

Harbingers of hope

Or a dereliction

Of damnation now

I believe hope

For even if

I am damned

I am damned

To tread water

Remembering you forever

Inspiration (for Tristan)

And then the

Boy said to

The man look

At your hands

They have tilled

Fields and held

Babies look at

Your eyes they

Squint because of

So many sunsets

Now look at

Your heart it’s

Just as new

As mine is

Love knows no

Age or year

Snowflake (to Bean)

I miss you

But since you

No longer read

These you’ll never

Know just like

The first snowflake

Of a blizzard

Never understands what

It itself started

When it decided

To alight on

My warm tongue
