Thumbnail smiles and
Two pups in
Arms happy eyes
Sang soft sweet
Songs of affection
Chatting turned secrets
And teasing and
Laughter what’s next
Only heaven knows
But I’m glad
I met you
Even this briefly
Thumbnail smiles and
Two pups in
Arms happy eyes
Sang soft sweet
Songs of affection
Chatting turned secrets
And teasing and
Laughter what’s next
Only heaven knows
But I’m glad
I met you
Even this briefly
When we started
We were maybe
Maybe this maybe
That maybe here
Maybe there and
Maybe then then
We were a
Thing a thing
Then and a
Thing there and
A even a
Thing way over
There but then
I realized that
Night that what
I really wanted
Was everything everywhere
Not just something
So I chose
Nothing nothing to
You or me
Like the wind
That brings rain
Like the wind
That rustles leaves
Like the wind
That whisks heat
Like the wind
That falls snow
Like the wind
You I never
Listened to until
Now when I
Don’t hear it
Sometimes life reminds
Me of that
One Christmas long
Ago when for
Days I spied
Upon that one
Gift nestled beneath
The tree knowing
That it was
For me and
When the day
Finally. came it
Went to someone
Else oh the
Gifts that I
Received were fine
But it was
That one that
Made that Christmas
Special to me
Nights are haunted
By dreams of
Times gone by
Of swimming languidly
In loves sweet
Pools of affection
Remembering smiles summer
Warmth on faces
Are these dreams
Harbingers of hope
Or a dereliction
Of damnation now
I believe hope
For even if
I am damned
I am damned
To tread water
Remembering you forever
