I spied two
Birds on a
Wire outside my
Door dancing they
Were a silly
Cadence to me
Bobbing and squeaking
But making progress
For off they
Flew into trees
Like people at
Bar time cozying
Up to dates
Category: Affection
EarlySun
The first chance
Of feeling today’s
Sun belongs to
The tallest of
Tall trees here
Just now their
Canopies are squinting
In early day
These tall trees
Stand head and
Shoulders above others
Like gangly taller-than-mates
Eighth graders in
Class photos the
Dawn sun moves
Across these trees
Like a slow
Yellow caterpillar across
The leaves of
It’s lunch eventually
Scorching everything with
The noon heat
BeGoneGhost
What happens to
Ghosts that lose
Their moans groans
Their scariness do
They become wind
Do they turn
Into a breeze
Or do they
Disappear
Making no sound
I wonder then
What you might
Be for one
Moment you were
Here and the
Next gone without
So much as
A whispered whimper
Leave me ghost
You shall not
Have me my
Soul belongs to
The living those
Who have hearts
That beat loudly
And bleed on
Sleeves when hurt
Be gone ghost
For good now
FireworksYouAre (for Christopher)
And then there
You are absolutely
Nothing like I
Was looking for
But everything that
I needed friends
Now with the
World ahead filled
With promise of
Promises it is
Said that attraction
Springs from surprise
Me
Simply the ooooo’s
And ahhhhh’s of
Watching you light
Up like fireworks
MealWeAre (for Christopher)
And so we
Met for the
First time and
Like a meal
We explored each
Others tastes and
Aromas some savory
Some sweet some
Silky some chunky
After dining we
Were full gorged
On the other
Over laughter and
Honesty we learned
A bit more
About each other
Yet made room
For the dessert
