Love is gravity
It keeps us
Grounded for without
Either or both
We would simply
Easily float away
Like the clouds
Do every day

SimpleThings (for Jay)
It’s like I
Never thought of
You because you
Were always here
Here every day
Why did it
Take eighteen months
To understand that
It is you
You that makes
My morning morning
And bedtime bedtime
That without you
Those simple things
Would simply be
Just simple things
How did I
Not know that
Those simple things
Make everything else
Between them better
Just like the
Sun and moon
Make my world
The world that
It is better
QuietMorning (for My friend Kwan)
You have left
Yet I remain
Like the tide
Leaves the cliff
You have taken
Parts of me
There with you
Parts that I
No longer have
They’re yours now
To be deposited
Some where else
To make something
New for you
Friendship (to Jay)
In the wood
Sat a prince
Thinking just thinking
Thinking about what
Was before him
Entering the wood
Came a man
Drawn by fire
Why so forlorn
He did ask
The young prince
There’s much to
Do he said
And you think
By sitting thinking
That it will
Be accomplished the
Man then asked
I don’t know
The young prince
Replied I do
The man said
Let us be
Friends let me
And not you
Slay the dragons
Let you be
The prince that
Will be king
That is friendship
Doing the one
Thing that will
Elevate the other
Arcade
Life is an
Arcade game where
With each step
And every level
You learn one
More thing and
Those many things
Result in prizes
I guess today
I finally won
The best prize
Of your heart
Lucky lucky me
