SymphonyUs

And then we

Became that pause

Between parts of

A symphony that

Moment of coughing

Rustling of pages

And cellophaned mints

We’d just ended

The first movement

With thunderous crescendo

And now rest

Awaiting the sweet

Melodies of what

Is now next

LoveFound

Love is the

Easiest thing in

The whole world

Yet the hardest

To find let

Us leash our

Dogs and pull

Off the armor

And dive nakedly

Into the pools

Of each other

Swimming together with

Childlike abandon on

Warm summer afternoons

SoundsOfLove

Why is it

That when you

Feel the heavy

Heartache songs feel

Like hammers pounding

Anvils yet when

You find someone

New it’s the

Pure sound of

A tap on

A crystal glass

These are the

Sounds of love

DandelionMessages (for Marvin)

Once again like

Being tickled by

A funny anecdote

Your messages made

Me giggle like

Buttery chins seen

By early summer

Dandelions and paratroopers

Spinning after being

Blown from spent

Past cat tails

Your words returned

The glee of

My childhood memories

LoveLines

And we met

And made dreams

Buildings and moats

With shovels and

Pails like small

Handed children digging

Into beach sand

Long before growing

Up and sitting

Across from me

As you are

Hands now trace

The love lines

Of each other
