You happened upon me
like that first sip
of hot coffee on
a cold dark morning
eagerly awaited hastily tried
instantly surprised urgently paused
and left to wait
while what was desired
needed to cool down
now you patiently blew
like first time birthday
cake children to candles
to cool me and
I agreed happily waiting
knowing that once ready
you would enjoy me

SoulFlow
One time with someone
we fell asleep together
forehead touching forehead and
as he exhaled I
inhaled his very breath
and if someone had
been there in the
room and watching us
they would have witnessed
his soul flowing into
mine and kissing me
there deep inside there
MorningStorm
Imagine if you will
we were laying together
here in my bed
listening to Satie or
Bach and against my
window we hear the
tap tapping of rain
as you turn to
me and I dot
and dash the same
code on your chest
my fingers becoming rain
and your body land
would you move closer
to the storm of
me or pull away
oh I think you
would inch inch inch
nearer and your laughter
would roll from your
lips like thunder claps
heralding love’s morning storm
WordsMusic
I listen to classical
music when I write
because to me both
genres exist in harmony
just like eyes and
lips for music like
eyes invite us closer
lips breathe out breath
just like words do
IYouCoffeeToo
I smelled my sunrise
this morning before seeing
its warm rays wafting
from the other room
following the bewitching aroma
I lumbered through rooms
and hallways to discover
my enchanter standing over
a percolator conjuring mysteries
wearing my yesterday’s shirt
approaching from behind him
like a curious vine
wrapping around his back
clinging to his front
I dryly kiss throat
as his head leans
forward and then back
like a scale measuring
the weights of affection
in unison we whispered
I you started this
and yes we did
whether it be coffee
or even this our
own type of dawn
