I never give
love to get
love I give
love just because
just because it’s
there and I
can recognize it
even though you
might not yet
but trust me
like the autumn
trusts the winter
it’s coming it
is soon enough
have no fear
it is coming

One more dream
becomes a reality
I’ve been ticking
them off all
of my life
but this one
is one of
the best ones
sitting in front
of a fireplace
and drinking coffee
while listening to
the wafting melodies
of Chopin Tchaikovsky
and DeBussy feeling
the warmth tickle
my feet and
throat writing poetry
oh so Fitzgerald
sans the G&T
LeanTo
It’s true I am
a rock much less
an obstacle and much
more a lean to
not much to get
over up or around
more as a place
to sit and to
take refuge to untie
shoes and rub weary
feet a place to
assess and take bearing
before continuing gaily on
I will always be
exactly where I am
whereas you will not
you’ll be a moment
Then
One more hour
just one more
that I dread
not that I
dread you here
it’s the you
not I do
no matter how
I keep the
dogs of then
at bay no
matter how many
I chase off
then will find
their way in
dragging you off
then always wins
it always wins
