It’s easy to
Write about you
Because when I
See things I
Think about you
It’s easy to
Hold you because
Every time I
Do I feel
Held by something
As big as
Time it’s easy
To love you
Because loving you
Is like taking
Long deep breaths
Of fresh air

MorningHere
The day starts
Freshly like the
Intoxicating aroma of
Eggs bacon coffee
Awakening me from
Sweet dreams of
The arms of
My past lovers
Shielding me like
Armor from the
Ravages of life
Messages arrive from
You like long
Awaited letters tickling
Me like that
Cold quarry lake
Outside of Pittsburgh
Where we cautiously
Dipped our toes
Before leaping headlong
Just like sipping
A cup of
Joe before work
Brandon
Here next to
Me lays a
Plank of ebony
Sanded smooth with
Knots of knowing
And age dark
And rich slightly
Bitter like a
Cup of black
Coffee deep as
The moonless night
Except for two
Twinkling eye stars
Drawing me deeper
Into your universe
Relationship
At first we
Were like a
Freshly saddled stallion
Rearing up on
Haunches bucking struggling
To throw off
The harness of
The new relationship
Slowly we loped
Around the paddock
Adjusting then past
The gates of
Loyalty we gained
Speed finally at
Full stride we
Gallop now free
Now comfortable with
This new freedom
Morning
Day starts quietly
Like Loon Lake
That one summer
Years ago just
Us a fire
Lightening bugs and
Secrets melodies remind
Me of love
Awakening like high
School prom when
I first kissed
Steam rises from
My coffee cup
Like the smoke
From the blown
Out candles right
Before you led
Me to bed
