Why does it seem
that upon meeting another
that I’m drawn to
it can be simple
as coffee and cup
or key and lock
we naturally fit together
though neither of us
was made specifically for
the other until found
or chosen or formed
discovering that we do
indeed work together causing
one to be the
reason for the other
It’s all just happenstance
and sweet simple serendipity

SelfishMorning
Oh how I wish
that you were here
on this chilly morning
to roll over onto
and into warming me
staving off the need
to stray out of
bed and into cold
to ignite the fire
and warm the house
being content with my
morning selfishness with warming
myself and leaving the
rest of the world
to its own devices
I’m simply not ready
yet to care about
anyone else but us
Denver
Oh I just saw
an angel wait it
was a seagull but
to me it was
an angel because being
here in Denver and
seeing what I see
is as close to
paradise as I’ve been
IGot
I do like tidy
and when one is
proud of thing place
or lover one tends
to share straighten or
primp wishing to present
said thing place or
lover to the world
in the best light
Lookee here you all
at what I got
DenverDawn
Oh now the dawn
sky turns to a
blue of smoky opal
a depth and richness
known only to treasure
The Rockies appear as
an apparition from the
night like craggy cliffs
emerging from the mist
certain to crush hope
of the new world
The eastern faces of
tall buildings blush rose
as if they’ve been
caught thinking dirty things
Dawn here in Denver
is such a delicate
slow dance between lovers
