One

When one does it

Doesn’t matter that others

Don’t it’s like the

Need is gone we

Forget just how important

Just one really is

One song one hello

One date one night

That makes all of

The others just others

SomeAnyEvery

Oh hey look

There’s a a

A well damn

It’s kinda something

Else or else

It’s gotta be

Something else entirely

Why do we

Insist that anything

Ever be something

It’s usually that

Which kills it

Living up to

Things ends dreams

Label

Things often exist long

Before someone calls them

Anything these things go

About doing but only

Be when someone say

Hey look at that

Calling something a name

Never makes it so

It makes it recognizable

Should it happen again

Before that it’s still

Confession

After almost a year

Of back and forth

Of steeplechase and jockeying

We finally did meet

And drank from each

Others cup feeling warmth

I had even before

You took your time

We laugh about it

I’m your very first

You’re not my last

But where we are

Is a comfortable place

I often wonder why

It is always hardest

To tell the truth

When two hearts are

JustSomeSilly (don’t like this)

Oh you’re a poet

I’m asked at parties

You must be ro-MAN-tic

Now who said THAT

By ro-MAN-tic do you

Mean affectionate yes I’m

That I am affectionate

Are you a LUUU-ver

By LUUU-ver do you

Mean have I loved

Yes I have I

Have loved many times

But by romantic do

You mean that I

Ponder to understand the

Depths of loves despair

Of lonely overly imbued

Scantily clad cocktail guests

That are as desperate

As a camel searching

For an oasis from

Which to sate themselves

Only to read about

It here tomorrow morning

Then yes sweetheart I’m

A poet and romantic

*and she staggers off
